We have got to know our way around quite quickly and headed towards the Arc de Triomphe and the Avenue des Champs Elysees where the serious shopping happens! There are up market shops all along the avenue - we were drawn in to the BMW and Peugeot display shops - Mal can dream can't he????
We got some shots of the Arc in the sunshine and then headed off towards the river and the Eiffel Tower. Its a nice area around there especially on a nice day despite the crowds. After circumnavigating a reasonable part of Paris on foot we jumped in a taxi and headed back to the part of town we have been staying in for lunch. Neither of us were game to try the escargot so opted for the near normal stuff again!
We then went hunting for our last lot of macarons - I really don't know how the French stay thin with all these pastries and yummy sweets everywhere - perhaps the high smoking rate has something to do with it. We ate these slowly - not sure we will ever find any to match these again!
We then joined other Parisians and sat sipping wine outside a cafe and people watched - what a great way to waste an hour or three!
We are now waiting to be picked up to begin our journey back to NZ - yippeee - 30+ hours of travel!!!!!
