Yesterday, it was took all our energy to make it to the Auchon, buy food for 2 days (and wine for 6 onsumed in 2) then take the train to Versailles for dinner again. This time, we noticed that on the first night here we had dinner surprisingly close to the train. We just walked in circles a couple of times to find restaurant.
Mistakenly ate at Italian restaurant, mistaken because we wanted to eat French. Italian always good, even had to order Italian wine. It's good, but not French...
Today, we took 2 trains to the Champs Elysees. Upon our arrival, we noticed we were very hungry and it was only 6 o'clock. That is not a big deal on the Champs, found a delightful restaurant where the waiter from Belgium (that is my new measure, the waiter) was only to happy to serve us Jambon with Fromage and ourve...with salade. He winked at me when I ordered a glass of the Grand Cru, so that is my new Red Wine!!!
Victoria had a banana split for desert, which was my signal to have another glass of Grand Cru. The bill was 99 euros, but 46 of that was for 4 glasses of wine. Not so bad...
We looked for shoes, but no. Shoe sizes too small, and only a few shoe stores. Mostly restaurants. Perhaps the real estate is too pricey. Still determined to buy French shoes before next Saturday!
Tomorrow, we are planning to actually go into the Chateau Versailles, they are having a concert and a light show, lasting until 10 in the evening. It's a bit disconcerting that is does not get dark here until 10 pm. But we are allowed to take food and wine into the Chateau.
Our plan: the Auchon first, then Versailles! King Louis should have had that plan...
Bonsour!
Maia, Paul and Victoria
