On Friday night we left the Disney property to visit with Dawn in Paris. We met down by the Arc de Triomphe.
We had dinner at Le Brasier, a grill place. We all started with salads and white wine, then moved on to cheese fondue and beef kabobs for the meat eaters. The food was good and the place was cute!
After dinner we took the RER A back to Disneyland Paris. The trains have a lot of different branches and run different schedules, so they have these helpful light boards with the stops of the next train listed.
After we got home we ate the lovely pastries that Dawn gave us! The decadence of eating tiny yummy pastries while lounging in bed! They were all different flavors. The light brown eclair was mocha...
The next day we left the Disneyland Resort around noon to check into our hotel near Dawn's place, by the Eiffel Tower. We joined Dawn for the grand tour of her place, as shown below! Her apartment is on the top floor of her building... All three of us could just crush into her elevator in a row. The one in my apartment is barely any bigger...
We went out shopping in Le Marais, and walked through the city. This is a cute deli and delicacies store. Ross bought canned fishes and pates, I bought yummy mustard and crystallized kumquats.
We strolled past Saint Jacques' Tower, which is the remains of a 16th century gothic church. It's beautiful and has the feel of an artifact of a lost culture.
We made it over to Notre Dame, in time for great sunset lighting. It's spectacular and pretty completely lived up to my expectations. The stained glass is great. We wandered over to the Saint Germain neighborhood, and headed back to the Eiffel Tower area.
The French are into manicured trees, which look a little scary in the winter.
This is the first of many Eiffel Tower photos to come!
