On his second day in Paris, President Bush met again with French President Nicolas Sarkozy as the two leaders held a joint news conference at the Elysee Palace. (Transcript)
Afterwards, President Sarkozy lead President Bush to the US Ambassadors residence in Paris where the Flamme de la Liberte (Flame of Liberty) sculpture was unveiled. The sculpture is a full size replica of the flame in the Statue of Libertys torch.
From there, President Bush traveled to the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in Paris where American soldiers who died during World War I and II are buried. The president also laid a wreath at the Mont Valerien Memorial, which honors members of the French Resistance executed by German soldiers during World War II.
First Lady Laura Bush traveled to Giverny, France, west of Paris, and toured the Museum of American Painters and the garden of French impressionist painter Claude Monet.

I am in one of the buildings near the river and have had to close out my office. The staff has moved to another building. I see on the news that the water is creeping up to the parking lot behind my building. Oh no ... I pray it won't get much higher. Stay safe, my friend.
