Paris 03 Ancien - Quartier Saint-Eustache

A day of very mixed weather - rain, hail and sunshine! We went for a bit of a wander down the streets of Paris - I believe that we are on the border of the first arrondissement, then to St Eustache’s Church (the one you can see from our balcony) before heading to the Georges Pompidou centre for their exhibitions - including a surrealist one. I do enjoy some art but say that the surrealist movement does not do much for me - but i did see some that I know such as Salvatore Dali and Rene Magritte. Shall we say an education 😊.
Then stopped for lunch as the worst of the hail hit - and finished with a highlight of a flambé Crepes Suzette! We then tested out the metro and made our way to the island in the Seine but the queues for Saint Chapelle were soooo long. So not today. Headed around the corner to Notre Dame - it is supposed to be finished by December this year but I think that they are being a little optimistic. After a quick freshen up at our very cute apartment we headed to the black cat - Cafe Le Chat Noir for a drink before a memorable night at the Moulin Rouge. Despite being crammed in like sardines, the food was good, and the show exceptional. There was less Can Can than i expected - the show is more in the style of Cirque du Soleil. Very enjoyable evening.Read more
