Nice Bathrooms (Day 7)
We slept in again today and spent a good part of the afternoon shopping at H&M and Zara.
Brioche Doree has been good so far, so we went to the one behind the Galleries Lafayette again for another ham and cheese baguette. Ivy had an "Indien" sandwich and actually liked it.
It was almost 4pm and we wanted to book our trip to Versailles before it was too late. So we headed back to the hotel and checked in with Thierry, our concierge, a super nice guy. We decided to do the Versailles trip, sans Giverny, since it was suppose to rain in the afternoon.
After a brief rest and feet cleaning (I had slippers on), we left for Angelina Tea Salon on the Rue de Rivoli near the Louvre. This place is known for its rich hot chocolate. We ordered the "Chocolate Africain" and it was gooood.
Angelina Tea Salon
I also had a slice of quiche lorraine. It looks like time stood still here. The parlor was decorated like an old ladies tea salon, just as Dan said. We bought some snacks and gifts of chocolate there too. The lady was really nice.
Down the street from Angelina was the Hotel Meurice. This was one of the most opulent hotels in Paris. Owned by the Sultan of Brunei, the hotel was lavishly decorated with fancy furniture, marble, and gold trim.
Something you must do...Ivy and I checked out the bathrooms in the lobby (thanks again Dan). I was amazed from the moment I walked in. Everything was covered in gray marble. The stalls were little rooms with cherry wood doors and square porcelain toilets.
Check out that Stall!
Neatly folded hand towels were stacked at the sink connected to a rod leading into a trash bin. Pretty clever.
Nice Hand Towels
We walked back from Hotel Meurice to hour hotel and scoped out some Japanese restaurants for dinner. After a light nap, we decided to have a sushi dinner at Edokko. It was actually good and so much better than Matsuri.
Craving dessert, we walked across the street to La Taverne again for our favorite creme brulee in the city. Ivy had a coffee and I an espresso to compliment our fine creme brulee. heh heh. Some English guy name Andy began chatting it up with us after overhearing our conversation in english.
We made this an early night and retired to the hotel around 11:30pm.
