Tourist Obamas take time out to see sights of Paris

US PRESIDENT Barack Obama spent a few hours as a tourist this weekend, seeing Paris with his wife and two young girls after his trip to the Middle East, Germany and the beaches of Normandy.

Obama was yesterday wrapping up a four-day trip that took him to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Germany and France. The tour included a speech to Muslims on Thursday and a trip to a Nazi concentration camp a day later. On Saturday, he marked the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion at Normandy.

After the D-Day ceremonies at Omaha Beach, Obama returned to Paris with first lady Michelle. They stayed at the US ambassador’s residence and spent time as tourists with their daughters.
