We have been having breakfast at a local patisserie, as you do when in Paris, so we had a quick breakfast and then headed out.
We were meant to go up the Eiffel Tower but it was closed due to a strike so we caught the metro to the Invaildes station and change to the subway system to get to the Tower. We had to make do with a walk around the base and taking a few photos. We will try to climb it when we are back in Paris over the next couple of weeks.
We then made our way to one of the big shopping malls Lafayette Galleries. There are three stores a women’s, a men’s, and a food building. The women’s one is very fancy and has views across Paris from the top floor. The men’s one is just a shop, nothing exciting, but the food one is David Jones’ Food Hall on steroids! All kinds of food and lots of it!
We made a few purchases and then wandered back to the hotel. We had to have an afternoon siesta along with cheese and champagne on our massive balcony.
Tonight we meet the rest of our fellow travellers for our second tripBaca lagi
