Stairs, Stairs and more stairs...816 stairs -Alissa's Blog

Yesterday, Tuesday August 9th. We visited many different museums filled with a lot of beautiful and detailed art, but the thing that suck with me the most was Arc De Triomphe. This Arc is 165 feet tall. We had to climb up about 406 stairs up! The sign at the bottom by the entrance says "284 steps" It doesn't seen like a lot but it was! But there were more steps than that, the sign was only referring to the first flight of stairs obviously. We had to go up more stairs to get to the top of it was miserable. By the time that we got to the top it was everyone was pooped! But it was totally worth the walk the view was BEAUTIFUL! Of course since we were all the way on top we had to walk back down. so we had to climb down 406 steps down. it was so nice and a great experience it was totally worth it! :D We are having a great time see everyone when we get home!!!(((:
