First Full Day Out and About!

Woke up to a bombsite in the kitchen, so after getting things straight and ordered I woke up Rosie and we prepared for a day out. Our only 'full' day in Paris without chores and children, so making the most of it. We got off the metro at Opera, and walked down to Place Vendome stopping off at the Chanel store, The Ritz hotel, Hotel Westin and visiting Place Concorde briefly and bumping into some models preparing for a photo shoot involving sticks of candy floss. All the norm in Paris!

We then went back to Place Vendome and into the very trendy Hotel Vendome to collect my Granny and Aunt and have another photo session at the uber-chic restaurant and my living-room-to-be. I LOVE IT. And they also had fashion books on America Fashion and Chanel. I'd better start a collection. We then walked round to Angelina's - famous for it's hot chocolate - and had the most delicious hot chocolate served in dainty jugs. Angelina's is so exquisite, and being next to Hotel Meurice it has similar decor - an elegant and classic interior with gold edged mirrors and furniture. Rosie and I then wandered down to Ile Saint Louis, and after seeing a 3-mile queue for Sainte-Chapelle we headed straight down to Notre Dame and toured round the inside. 

  

We arrived back at home late afternoon, as all the shops had closed and we've done so much already this weekend! So we chilled with our laptops and films, and Rosie finally met Crazy Caroline and the girls altogether. Our mission for tomorrow afternoon is the family food shopping on a 50€ note which should be interesting. Perhaps Rosie can be my calculator to make sure we don't go over the amount!
