Paris, France, Day five
We woke eager to find the Aussie pub for Simon to watch the Collingwood preliminary final. After finding one, they directed us to another ‘ten minutes’ down the road. After walking for over an hour we arrived at the next pub, eager to watch the game. Sadly, they were showing yesterdays game - pathetic! Hot and bothered we went and grabbed a bite to eat. We had a great charcuteries plate with lots of delicious meat and cheese to try. Our waitress was very enthusiastic and loved practising her English with us! Putting the game behind us, we headed to Arc de Triomph. It was a maze working out how to get to the arc, which is in the middle of a huge, crazy roundabout! Then we hit the shops of Champs Elysees. Mainly window-shopped, but we did get a few goodies. Highlights were a HUGE Sephora and, of course, Louis Vuitton for which we had to line up for entry! We also made sure we stocked up on macaroons and eclairs from Ladurée, a well known store Simon’s aunty recommended. We shopped for hours, but that wasn’t enough, so we got a taxi to Galleries La Fayette where we spent a few more hours (and euros). What a jam packed shopping day! Simon coped sooo well. We’ll have to do it more often! Hehe.
We headed out for a late dinner of more snails and French wine. To top it off we had our eclairs from Ladurée… Mmm. The coffee one was really good! Katie xo
