Europe Part 4: We are In Paris

Europe Part 3: Arc De Triomphe and Champs-Elysees

After fully recharge our power, we then continue walking back towards our hotel passing a few interesting places, like Hotel Invalides, some great old architecture buildings and not forget to grab some Parisian snacks along the way.

Mini sweet cream puffs covered with caramel sauce

Beef Bourgonion - Hearty French beef stew

Duck Confit

Tuna sandwich

This cafe is located right next to the Bir Hakeim metro station (on the way back to our hotel).  Their food were good and homey.  We also did try their steak tartare, but no photo of it here.  And that actually the best from all.

Europe Part 2: Eiffel Tower and Nearby

Today, we start the day fresh and we are ready heading up to one of the most busiest street in Paris called Avenue Des Champs-Elysees.  First of all, from the hotel we walk to Bir Hakeim metro station and bought the day pass (6.80 Euro covered for mobilis zone 1 - 2).  From there me made our way to Arc De Triomphe stop.

Arc de Triomphe

Not only branded stuffs that you can get from here, this avenue lays heaps of cafes and restaurants as well.  Some of them are pretty tacky and pricey as this area is highly packed with tourists, however it is at least good to try one of them though. 

Escargots de "la butte" 12 Euro (6 pcs)

Foie Gras 22 Euro

Duck Confit

Creme Brulee

Good food, nice ambiance, clean place, slightly pricey but what are we damning about, this is Champs-Elysees for God shake, we hardly can find any cheaper than this for a nice cafe.  However, the service wasn't up to standard, enough waiters were standing by in front of the door but they are not attentive to the customers who were actually inside the restaurant.

Buffet breakfast in hotel

We spend our afternoon just strolling around town, especially around that gorgeous Eiffel Tower.  Having some local nutella crepes and sausage rolls just under this huge tower made my day even more complete.  With the river nearby, there are so many things to see, so beautiful.



Mushroom Pizza

Sausage rolls

Nutella crepes 11.50 Euro - yummy just like I expected



After 6pm onwards, Eiffel turns into glittery tower in time to time.

The finale from my 'Grand slam' pictures collection

I tried to take lots of photos from every angle of Eiffel and there is one of my grand slam shoot that I took and of course I have inserted in this blog just showing off (above).



Italian restaurant inside Marc &Spencer Shopping Centre

We chose this Italian restaurant inside Marc & Spencer shopping centre as it is located just next door to our hotel.  Convenient after a long day and the food was pretty good too.
