Thanks to Bev, we had a great itinerary for today! Yes, we strolled down the Champs-Elysees (Rod, can I buy some perfume from Guerlain?) all the way down to the Arc de Triomphe, where there were street dancers performing. Yes, we had lunch at Angelina’s with the decadent hot chocolate for dessert. Yes, Lady Gaga’s motorcade stopped right in front of us (with paparazzi and crazy teenagers rushing to get photos at her window, and her 10 or so motorcycles around her protecting her) on our way to Fauchon (like a Dean and Deluca on steroids, and with Madeleines!) Yes we bought 2 bottles of wine from Lavinia and truffles from La Maison du Chocolate. It was a gorgeous day to walk through the Jardin des Tuileries on the way back to drop our things back at our room before heading out again to a café near the Eiffel tower, and because it was raining, stayed and had lots of wine and met a couple from Toronto and a documentary filmmaker from LA (on couch surfing). The more it rained, the more wine I drank, and then it finally stopped and we got another look at the tower all lit up before returning “home”.
