Place Charles de Gaulle (Day 10) (Historical)

I slept really badly after the day at the science museum. I'm not so sure why, but I couldn't stay asleep. I even went out to the balcony to look at the city and get some fresh air. It didn't help much. I finally fell asleep after a while but before I knew it, Connor was yelling at us. "RISE AND SHINE BOYS!" he screeched. Everyone was up and moving fast. I got up, but my head felt like death. Our normal routine was now taking place. We were all showered and dressed within 25 minutes. Our final day in France was near, and we wanted to make the last couple days more enjoyable than ever. Breakfast was the same as usual. Hotel biscuits, eggs, sausages and pancakes. By now it was about 10:15 a.m., meaning that it was almost time to leave. Alain was supposed to be here at 10:30, so we had to hurry and eat. We finished as soon as Alain showed up. "Perfect timing!" Evan exclaimed. We piled into the van and we were on our way.
 "Wait... Where are we even going today?" Will asked. "The Place Charles de Gaulle." Connor said, matter-of-factly. He continued, "The original name for the Place was Butte Chaillot, and it was a point of converge for a series of hunting trails. The roads and structures surrounding the Place were completed in 1777, and the hunting trail conversion was now becoming a monument. It was finally finished in the second empire of Napoleon III during Haussmann's Renovation of Paris." "That's cool." Evan said.
The Arc de Triomphe was the main part of the Place Charles de Gaulle, and it was also the place where Alain was dropping us off. We were there within minutes. "See you all later!" yelled Alain as he pulled away. We waved and began to walk toward the Arc. It was even bigger than I had pictured. "It is exactly 162 feet tall." Connor said. A tour guide approached us. "Hello!" he said. "Hi." I said back. We asked him a couple questions about the Arc. He told us that the art inside the base of the monument was created in 2007. It depicts the symbolic meaning of the place. We checked out the inside. It was an interesting place. Many other tourists from around the world were here, speaking in languages that I had never even heard of.
After visiting the monument, we walked down the various streets surrounding the Place. The street that we were on was called the Avenue de Fredland. It was lined with different stores and restaurants. We looked around the stores that lined the streets. We first visited a jewelry store. Will proceeded to pick out the most expensive watch and put it on his wrist. He waved his wrist around, pretending to be a wealthy person. The watch then flew off of his arm and onto the floor. Without checking the condition of the watch, we briskly exited the store while someone yelled at us in French.
The next store we visited was a gift shop for tourists. It was much more of our style. There were French flags on t-shirts and sweatshirts all around the store. We stayed there for a while, but Will began to complain about how hungry he was, so we got some McDonalds. After eating a cheap meal, we decided to go back to the hotel for the night. Everyone was tired, and we were just going to watch a movie and hang out. We called Alain and he was at McDonalds within 10 minutes. He told us about his day while we drove back to the hotel
We arrived quickly. Will was asleep in the car, so we woke him up and dragged him out of the van. Everyone was in bed and watching T.V. before I knew it. I fell asleep fast.
