Paris. It's what's for dinner.
We're here in Paris. The train ride was easy, even with a couple delays which didn't matter because it was so comfortable. A couple glasses of champagne and we felt like any delay wash not sush a problm. Lunch on the train was also particularly good.
We arrived at the Paris train station Gare Du Nord, which was my first time there. All of Paris pretty much looks like that. Spectacular architecture, usually beautifully maintained.
We walked to our hotel which turned out to be a bit too far for me but we made it to the Place De Vosges (see photos) where our hotel is located down a little street. It's lovely and we have the exact same room John had a few weeks ago.
A little rest from all that walking and then we took the Metro to the seventeenth district for dinner at a restaurant called "Le Marcande," where John had eaten a few weeks ago and wanted to go to again. It was a gorgeous meal. There was champagne and yes, ok, we had dessert. This trip to Paris is all about food. I can starve myself back down to my normal weight when I get back to London '-)
More tomorrow, I think we're going to the Louvre.

Oooh, I'm enjoying this already. Those desserts look great! (Never mind the amazing Parisian architecture, I go directly to the pictures of the food...)
Thanks for sort of letting us all tag along. I hope you two have a truly lovely time.
