On Friday we decided to take the city tour by bus. It rained on and off during the day and we weren't able to sit up top. It was, however, a good way to spend the day. We were glad we did.
It's interesting that next to the famous Maxim's there is a place called Minim's.
(More Eiffel Tower)
An Indian restaurant with beautiful chairs.
There was a little walking street near Notre Dame with the most interesting restaurants and shops.
Afterwards, we relaxed with some red wine and cheese. This is a Mouton-Cadet Bordeaux at a very reasonable price. I am not a red wine afficionado but this wine I liked.
One of my passions here is the cheese. If you haven't been to a Parisian fromagerie, you must, absolutely MUST see one! They are like boutiques. Here is a shot of our neighborhood chocolatier and two of the little fromagerie where I bought a fabulous cheese. I went in and asked for a butterlike cheese, and the fromager gave me a perfect match.
More from our bus trip:
Lots of cool pictures from the bus tour. The last one is the sports center. Notice the grass.
We had lunch near the Notre Dame. The ambiance was good, the service was efficient and friendly, and the prices were decent.
Our view from the resto.
A seafood resto.
The Sorbonne, pronounced (Sore Bun).
The flower district was beautiful.
But the Seine was flooding.
We really enjoyed the day.
A quintessential Parisian street.
