Joyeux Noël !

Had a great Christmas in Paris. We woke up around 8 and had breakfast at a small bakery across the street from the hotel. A chocolate croissant and a cafe o lay (lol can't spell). We then walked up to sacre coeur. Wondered around a bit but did not really get lost on the way there. Walked around the church and admired the view. Wondered through the streets again on the way back towards the metro. Stopped off in Moulin Rouge to book a table for the evening performance.
Then jumped on the metro to go to the notre dame. Walked around the islands area and saw the church and the flower market. Most big sights were open but lots of the little shops were closed. Has lunch at a little cafe.
Back on the metro to the Eiffel tower. Came off the metro above it looking down on the area. There was a Christmas market and ice skating area at the water fountains before it. Was interesting seeing all the seasonal food available. Then the long wait. We stood in line for about an hour before going up in the Eiffel tower. Unfortunately the top was closed due to ice but we got to go up to the third floor. The view was still amazing. It was so cold up there with such a long wait, I don't know if we would have gone all the way up anyway. We then wondered around a bit again and made our way back to the hotel.
We changed into fancier clothes for the show and went out to dinner. Ate at a little restaurant on the corner called La Marmite. The food was wonderful. Our best meal here. I even tried a snail for the first time. We then walked over to Moulin Rouge. The show was interesting. Bob enjoyed it more than I did. It was very entertaining though and i'm glad we went.
No pics to post yet as we're hoping I left the charger for my camera battery in the car. I remember seeing it in Bristol so hopefully it's not lost. Today off to the Louvre. Fly home at 9pm then about a 2-3 hour drive home probably in the ice, yuck.
Hope everyone is having a great Christmas!!
