Tourists

 The past few days, we’ve done more touristy type things. Explored the neighborhood, checked out the location of the apartment we will be moving to on Saturday. Walked through the church that’s next door to us Saint Severin (check it out on the internet). Found a good restaurant we are going back to tonight. 

We’ve been walking a couple miles every day, today was nearly three. Maybe I should have brought more newer pairs of shoes with fresh cushioning, cuz today my feet were killing me on the cobblestones…

We took a wine tasting class, learned about French wines, and tasted some really good wines. We learned how understand a French wine label, which wines come from which regions, and tons of other good information. Highly recommend Wine Tasting In Paris.

Today (Friday), hopped on Metro (subway) and ventured out. It’s fairly easy to navigate.  We made a return visit to one of our favorite spots- Angelina’s for the worlds best hot chocolate. The chocolate is amazing, and the whipped cream is whipped by hand in large copper bowls., some strong arms there! We were smart enough this visit to not eat beforehand, as it’s quite rich and filling. 

After our meal, we hopped back on Metro and went to the Champs-Elysees for a quick trip to Guerlain. I wanted a French perfume that you cant get in the US, and they were recommended. Beautiful store, and LOTS of choices. Lots of tourists in the area too, hence the reason we went on Friday and not Saturday.

Tomorrow we move from our hotel to our apartment. We are looking forward to having more space, and a kitchen. The staff here at Parc Saint Severin has been lovely and helpful, quite tolerant of our pathetic French, although I am getting better!

Off to enjoy a nice dinner at a small family owned French restaurant.
