Late Monday Start

This was our last day in Paris, and we took it very easy. We’ve been on the go every day and it caught up with us all.  We slept in and had a lazy morning in the apartment. Jim and Kristi tried the chèvre (goat cheese) we bought the other day while Jim made a breakfast soufflé (puff pancake is what we call it at home).  The cheese was very good. It’s hard to describe exactly but it’s mild with a slightly pungent start, nothing like chèvre you get in the US. Truly French. 

We went grocery shopping, started a beef stew, and had lunch. Then we walked to the Moulin Rouge which is a twenty minute walk from the apartment. We just took a few pics. There was some fun shopping along the way. 

We then hopped on the Metro to visit the Military Museum and Nepolean’s tomb. 

The Metro and our feet have been our main transportation in Paris. We have a Metro stop just 50 yards from our apartment. It’s been very crowded at times but easy to use. 

After the museum we were done and came home for dinner, the beef stew we started earlier.  Stew, fried potatoes, wine, and of course, desert from downstairs (eclairs and other things filled with cream) were a great finale to Paris. 

And yet another day goes by without a tear, tease or grumpy face ... 😜

Early in the morning we will head out to pick up rental cars to drive to Normandy.  We have been told the region of Normandy is know for it’s butter — yes, butter — cream, and Camembert cheese.  Sounds like a dairy lovers paradise; we should fit right in.
