Arrondissement de Saint-Germain-en-Laye

What to do the day after a long haul flight when you are exhausted and fighting jet-lag? Book yourself into a 5 hour walking tour! There's a fantastic bakery near our hotel so we pointed to what we thought were breakfast looking and ended up with apple pie for breakfast. The tour was fantastic. Always my favourite thing to do on holiday as you learn so many interesting things you wouldn't on your own.
Ticked off all the Paris postcard items. Most interesting fact from today is the word merde means shit in French. There is a whole shop dedicated to it. Closed today, so we will be there tomorrow. Bonus points for anyone spotting our merde items when we get home. Second fact of the day - there is a street artist who makes mosaic tile space invader icons which are found all around the city. Unlike Banksy he has been unmasked.
People actually live in that super skinny building. They must never eat the beautiful croissants here or they wouldn't be able to stand sideways in their living room.
Finished the night with wine and cheese and fresh baguette.Les mer
