DAY 4 PARIS

We planned to visit Vasaille Palace today but it is closed on every Monday so we went shopping in Lafatyee and other shops. We didn't buy anything for these two days and we really wanted to buy something in Paris. Finally I bought a lot of things!!

I bought some clothes and accessories and a wallet. We had tax refund at Lafatyee so it was hard to resist buying things!! We also did crazy shopping at H&M and ZARA!! I know it would be crazy and we have those shops in Hong Kong but women are born to shop, right? :D

We shopped for whole afternoon then we went to Arc de Trimophe to take pics again. Just wanna take some funny "jumpy pics".

Then we visitied the Eiffel Tower. It looks very impressive and beautiful especially at night!! It flashes on every hour. Again I regretted for not bringing the tripod!! Maybe I should blame someone who didn't give me the small light tripod?




We met Tony at the Tower at night after he has finished his work. And he took us to a nice French Restaurant "Le Champ de Mars". We wanted to try real French food so much so we let Tony to order the food and drinks for us.

He ordered foie gras with toasts, escargots, preserved duck with potatos, champagne and red wine! It was a wonderful meal!! Everything was so delicious!! Especiall the foie gras, it was perfect match with the toasts!! It felt so good to sip the champagne and then eat foie gras!!




I liked the escargots and preserved duck too!! They were very delicious!! I was sooooo full after eating them all!! I' was so happy that I could taste real French food!! :)


After meal, Tony sent us back to Vincent's home. Thank you very much for his kindness coz he lives far away from Vincent's home!! It was great to meet him!! Thank you Christophe as well :)

When we arrived Vincent's home, it was midnight already. Vincent helped us to call the taxi coz we had to catch up the flight to Milan at 8.30am. There were not many ways to the airport coz it was too early and we had to be there 2 hours before. We had to take the taxi to the bus stop and then take the bus to the airport.

We couldn't sleep much, we only slept for 1.5 hour and then gotta go. I didn't expect to take taxi but we had no choice. The meter charged 7Euro in the begining and it costed nearly 25Euro from Vincent's home to the bus stop. Kinda expensive but acceptable!
