9th Dec 2009 (Wed) : Paris Day 1: Star Features
- Zoom Zoom on Eurostar to Paris!
- Walked to Hotel Albouy and then to Louvre (~5km to and fro!). Amused with the crowd and barriers around Mona Lisa and Venus De Milo. They even have specific directions. Walked from 4 – 645pm and I convinced myself I had completed 2/3 of the museum *GLEE*. My legs protested.
- Had a nice spinach and salmon Quiche for lunch. Ian had a croque Monsieur.
- Dropped by a great French restaurant specializing in 20 over cuts of beef! Fantastic food apart from the idiotic French waiter who played games us.

- Breakfast at a “Richard” café around Republik area. Nice custard-like Brioche and coffee.
- Concorde Champs Elysee (~Oxford ST) but I got bored.
- Lunch at Hippo, which is recommended by the guide. Enjoyed another beef burger there.
- Saw the Louis Vuitton flagship store. 3 storey high with flag! Gosh.
- Visited Eiffel tower and witness a police raid on touts. There were also Christmas markets there but they were all commercialized stores.
- Quest to search for Longchamp at Layfettes Gallery. It was flooded with humans and the flagship Longchamp was shut due to crowd. Wasn’t impressed with the design of the bag anyway. Bought some chocolates and chocolate spread instead.
- Final destination was night view of Eiffel Tower. Was worth it. There were lights and blinking lights. The touts were back and there were MORE of them! Hahahaha
- Time to head back to Gard du Nord. Experienced a peak hour train and couldn’t board. Had to brisk walk to station. Thank goodness we made it on time.
