Saturday in Paris

Feb 17^th

The next day Andrew woke up early and went out and got us some juice, croissants and pane chocolate for breakfast while I slept in.. what a sweetheart! We had a slow morning and then we met up with Vincent for a walk in the city. Andrew wanted to go up the Eiffel Tower so we headed into the city. We walked along the park grass area leading up to the tower and slowly the crowds emerged it was going to take hours of waiting in line to get up the tower so we opted out of that and just admired the tower from the ground below. After we went for a bit of walk then took the Metro to the Arch de Triumph from there we walked all the way down the Champs Elysee where we stopped in to look around the new Louis Vuitton store, which I have to say was quite nice inside, and I would have a picture to show of this cool ceiling they had but unfortunately I was not allowed to take any photographs, le lame. We continued to walk all the way down past the Louvre all the way to Pompideu - Museum of Modern Art. We went to the top of the museum where they have a great view of the city and had a drink at their restaurant called George.

From there we went to another area of town for dinner to a restaurant that Marie Vincent’s girlfriend recommended. When we got there it was great timing we got to sit down right away and not wait about 15mins later there were many people waiting for a seat. The food was fabulous we started with some escargot. I love snails!! I could have eaten two more plates full. Then I had a duck confit with these lovely mushrooms from the southern region of France and Andrew and Vincent both had a hearty looking piece of meat with a roquefort sauce. For desert I had a crème caramel and the boys shared some cheese and black cherry compote. It was all absolutely delicious. From there we went back to the area where Andrew and I were staying and had a digestive and tea with Vincent before we called it a night.
