Exploring the Left Bank

Woke up early, walked down to the local boulangerie, grabbing a pain au chocolat and a croissant aux amandes, then hopped on the metro to the Tour Eiffel. Even though we have both been here before, we were still as mesmerized as the first time.





After admiring it for awhile and taking a number of pictures, we made our way to Boulevard Saint Germain. Knowing that the new Paris Ralph Lauren store was on this street, we made a stop to see how it compared to Greenwich. It's a historic building that he restored, so we walked each floor enjoying the interior architecture and merchandising. We also had a free snack here as they were passing drinks and small patisserie cakes.

We continued our walk to the Luxembourg Gardens. There, we sat in the sun and enjoyed yogurts we purchased earlier.


Spent the rest of the day wandering the streets through the Latin Quartier, along the bookstalls on the Seine again, enjoyed a chocolat chaud and then back in along Rue Mouffetard where we found the hub of cheap crepe shops. We stood in line at a window and ordered a gruyere and egg crepe, sugar and butter crepe and an Orangina all for €5.50! Also all delicious!

Took the subway back to Montmartre and rested a little. In the evening, we went to Aurora, Khalil and Analuna's where we had drinks and snacks with some of their friends.
