Little Things I'll Miss About Paris 5

Impromptu walks through the city. Like this weekend-- I went to dinner with two friends at a terribly touristy but terribly good fondue place (you drink wine out of baby bottles... aha! So you have heard of it!). Then after, we did the abridged Amélie tour through Montmartre. Even though it was freezing cold.

Or yesterday, when I tried to take the métro from Opéra to Concorde and then to Sèvres-Babylone... There was some sort of problem (someone left a bag on the platform, I think), so we all got herded to the exits. Instead of waiting around or walking just one stop down, to Pyramides, I did the relatively short walk to Concorde.

I meandered down the Rue St-Honoré, passing Colette (coolest. store. ever.) and stopping off at the Place Vendôme for a picture of the Ritz. I doubled back down the Rue de Rivoli for some bags of Angelina hot chocolate for the people at home. Then it was off to Bon Marché-- specifically, the Grande Epicerie-- for the rest of the afternoon.

Last Monday in Paris!
