TODAY’S TOURING
We flew on Condor Air from SEA-FRA-CDG. It was our first time flying on Condor Air Business Class. Condor Air is the less expensive version of Lufthansa Air. The lie-flat seating modules were as good as the other airlines we’ve flown. As usual we were very tired when we arrived at our hotel, The Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel. We picked this hotel because it was close to the AmaWaterway dock. We got a good view of the Seine and the sunset.

Elevador Baixi and Elevador Castelo (Rick Steves)
Get to the castle gate … by two free elevator rides up from the Baixa and then a short uphill walk. To find the elevators, head to Rua dos Fanqueiros and go
through the easy-to-miss door at #178 (… you’ll see faint, white lettering spelling out elevador castelo on the red rooftop — illuminated at night). Ride the elevator to the top floor and exit, angling left across the street and through the little square. Then head up Largo Chão do Loureiro, where you’ll see the second elevator (elevador castelo; handy supermarket with WC at bottom, view café and fine panoramic terrace at top). When exiting the second elevator, simply follow brown Castelo de S. Jorge signs up to the castle.
