These daily journals really must be recorded at the end of each day. We cover so much ground in 16 hours, that it’s easy to forget when & what & how if it’s left too long. Taking photos is an absolute must as it helps jog my memory about where we have been.
Our hunt for good Melbourne Style coffee took us to Papilles, 77 Rue de Rochechouart, near Pigalle and walking distance to Montmartre.
Montmarte/Sacre Coeur
Souvenir shopping
Caricature drawing - so much fun
Walk – seedy Pigalle; Moulin Rouge
Tea - seedy cafe
St Trinite Church
Sandwiches from Monop’ which we ate outside Galeries Lafayette on a stone block, it’s absolutely bloody freezing, my fingers have turned to ice.
Shopping in Galeries Lafayette to warm up. I tried on a georgous blazer for 500 Euros ! Just for fun !
Seconds shop - I bought a really funky green denim jacket for 20 Euros! That’s better 😎.
Walk back to hotel to recharge.
Afternoon explore of the Arcade.
We are exhausted.
Dinner across the road at La Comete - Pain, Champagne (OMG it’s divine), Hoegaarden for hubby, Confit de Canard with sauteed pommes de terre, and a carafe of Cote Du Rhone (OMG it’s all divine).
Glaces from up the road (Choc & Pistachio for hubby, Coffee for moi… OMG, really, too divine for words).
That’s it, we’re done!
Crossing the road from St
Trinite to Rue de Monadour, heading towards Galeries Lafayette & Opera.
From our hotel window, the corner of Rue Geoffroy Marie and Rue du Faubourg Montmartre. La Comete straight ahead with the blue light, and Mamie on the right.
