Paris Day 4

Today we got up close to the Eiffel Tower, then walked along the seine and crossed to the fashionable area with all the up market shops - some very chic people wandering around. We had a coffee in a snazzy cafe, where all the waiters were sitting down to an early cooked lunch with wine - that's how lunch should be at work! We've been amazed at the parking in the streets here - how people get in and out of these spots is beyond us. On to the Champs Elysee - all a bit much there - too expensive and too touristy - so we jumped on to the metro and headed to the Marais.

This is a very beautiful part of Paris where old buildings and little streets and shops all run into each other. We had lunch at a street cafe (Onion soup for me and Nordic salad for Michael) then wandered around to Place de Vosges where we ate fruit on the grass, then enjoyed some time in St Paul's before descending to the metro again and heading home for a rest.
