If you love Paris and you like walking, this event on January 6 is for you.  For 20 years, the Rallye Paris Tour Eiffel has provided two circuits that take you through the best known neighborhoods of Paris and their monuments:  Les Invalides, Eiffel Tower, Concorde, the Louvre, the Hotel de Ville are included in the 14 km (8.7 miles) walk.  Add to that the Opera Garneir, Les Halles, Notre Dame and the Pantheon if you choose to go all the way and walk the full 20 km (approxmately 12.5 miles)!  There is a third 14 km circuit this year which will focus on the riverbanks and bridges of Paris.

Walkers from all over the world and all walks of life participate in the Rallye.  It even begins in the mid-afternoon, allowing you to sleep in and get a good lunch before taking off!  What a great way to start your New Year!
