Paris Day 5

After a very hectic couple days we had a quiet morning catching up on sleep and other things before heading out for our last hurrah for this trip (read what you want into that 😄). Stohrer, the oldest patisserie in Paris (the original owner was the chef for Louis XV) was just around the corner from us, so we checked it out but by buying a tasty morsel - and then promptly lined up again for another one for later. Just delicious! Then we jumped on the metro and headed off to the Arc De Triomphe, and walked the length of the Champs Élysées, stopping here and there for a bit of a browse. A lot of the infrastructure for the Olympics is still being dismantled and it was interesting checking out what happened where - for example the Skateboarding was at Place de la Concord at the end of the Champs Élysées. Lunch was onion soup again - I will have to learn to make it like the French! And then back to the Metro and off to the Sorbonne - but really just to check out the site of Emily in Paris. Found a very French restaurant for our last night together.Read more
