Last Day in Paris

(Community Matters) Even more fun when Steven isn’t working!

We had such a great day, tooling around the city, climbing inside and to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, exploring Montmarte, shopping and reacquainting ourselves with this gorgeous city.

Reservations for Premiers Pas again tonight but it was raining and cold, so we decided on a quiet dinner near by, then in early to read, hang out. ST leaves for Heidelberg tomorrow.

Thought we’d transfer over to one of my favorite hotels yesterday, the Four Seasons’ George V. Even dialed up friends at Austin FS for an introduction. However, we’ve become quite comfortable in the Mac Mahon, a formerly upscale hotel just off the Arc de Triomphe, now a mature 3-star – not to mention saved tons of money instead.

Steven’s client has asked him back. So, we’re definitely returning, possibly a couple of times next year. Was trying to figure out what makes Paris so unique, so romantic. Definitely the history, historical character of the city, the food, the wine, the people and the fact that nearly all midrises in the city proper. It’s a huge city, more dense than London – yet there are views everywhere. Yum
