On New Year's Day, we headed back to the Champs Elysees to get a closer look at the Arc de Triomphe. Since most of the tourists were probably hung over from the night before, the street and the arc were really quiet, with few crowds...which was nice.

At the Place de la Concorde they were giving free carousel rides in honor of Marie Antoinette (she was beheaded by the guillitine on the Place de la Concorde). Everyone hopped on and went for a ride. The carousel was old, built in the 1800s and each horse was given a name.
