I almost didn’t have a chance to post tonight. We started the day at the Louvre, then the Arc de Triomphe/Champs Elysees. After that we went to a chocolatier recommended by one of Seth’s customers. It is called A La Reine Astrid and was amazing! We then had lunch at a cute little brasserie named L’Escale that was near the chocolate shoppe. I had a planche de fromage and Seth had a Croque Messieur. Everything was amazingly delicious! I have fallen in love with French cheese and wish I could take it home with me!!! It is so much better than anything else I have ever tasted!
I was pretty exhausted from all the walking, and especially the STAIRS, so we went back to our hotel for a break. I ended up falling asleep! I never nap! After that, we took the metro up to Montmarte and the Sacre Coeur Basilica–more stairs!! This is my favorite part of Paris! Unfortunately, it started to rain pretty hard, so there was no reason to go to the Place du Tertre, where all the artists are–we figured they wouldn’t be there in the rain. Instead we found a cute little cafe up there called Cafe Chappe. Seth again had duck (he loves duck and it isn’t easy to find in restaurants at home). I ordered the Salade Campagnare–a delightful salad with toast points covered with 3 different kinds of cheeses as well as little roasted potatoes that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
This cafe had Kronenbourg also so that is what we had to drink. It was very refreshing after all of those stairs!! We ordered nutella crepes for dessert, unfortunately, they looked so delicious we ate them and forgot to take a picture!! Sorry about that!
I promise I will post sightseeing pictures also! I’m just more obsessed with the FOOD here in Paris!! Tomorrow is our last day and that makes me sad! But I am excited to see London and to visit my cousin Linda and her family next weekend!
Bonsoir!
