Oh La La

September 25, 2010

Our last day in Paris was one to remember. It was perfect in every sense of the word.

I am putting the ‘Paris is dirty’ rumours to rest! It just couldn’t be further from the truth. It is one of the cleanest cities we have EVER seen.

We made our way to Romantica Cafe for our last dinner in Paris!

20100922-IMG_8538 20100922-IMG_8534

Whenever we made dinner reservations for 7:30pm, we were always the only people in the restaurant. Tourist alert! ;)

Locals don’t eat dinner until 8-10pm typically.

I had to laugh when I read ‘Vegetarian of Vegetables’ on the menu. I took it as a sign and ordered the dish!

My two gals!

Saying goodbye was very hard! :(

‘Spooky’ Ghost Bread and balsamic + oil:

20100922-IMG_8554

My mom and sis had the linguini tomato and basil pasta.

 20100922-IMG_8546

It was a dream! A dream I tell you.

I had the ‘Vegetarian of Vegetables’ ;) and it was lovely.

20100922-IMG_8551

I was surprised to find that there were lots of delicious vegetables throughout! Eggplant, asparagus, zucchini, tomato, etc.

When I was served it I said to myself, ‘I can’t possibly eat this huge serving’, but somehow it disappeared. ;)

20100922-IMG_8553

Then my sister and I ate my mom’s leftovers too. ;)

20100922-IMG_8556 

For dessert, we made our way to a bakery that we passed along the way to dinner.

20100922-IMG_8585

You don’t forget a window front like that!

20100922-IMG_8529 20100922-IMG_8581 20100922-IMG_8559 20100922-IMG_8560 20100922-IMG_8561 20100922-IMG_8574

I tried a mini croissant as we waited. It was off the hook.

20100922-IMG_8564

These caught my eye!

20100922-IMG_8566

I was told they were Raspberry filled French Cakes.

20100922-IMG_8577

We ended up getting a huge assortment of goodies and shared them back in the hotel room!

20100922-IMG_8594

My favourite.

20100922-IMG_8596 

A French Food baby ensued.

When in Rome Paris…

Oh la la.

Wish I could take credit for it :) but actually I overheard a guy telling that to his mother at the airport when she was saying goodbye to his sister. And actually at the time I needed to hear it as I was saying bye to my brother and sending him off on a new adventure.

I’m glad to hear the city was clean! I wouldn’t have said Paris was dirty when I went, but not to be crude, there was dog poop EVERYWHERE…all over the sidewalks, you had to literally look down while you were walking to avoid it. :/

But, needless to say, that was probably in 2000.

This is an absolutely stunning group of pictures. I had been wanting to go to Paris and viewing your trip confirms this to me all the more. It looks like my long lost home! Lol. I am inspired to start a savings account just for a future Paris trip right now.
