Paris Day 6: The Final Wander pt. 2

I was not excited about this walk down the Champs-Elysees until we started it. It was getting late after all our earlier wanderings but, we were confident we could dash into a few more shops before closing. The Mister hit the Disney Store with a thud looking for any cool "Toy Story 3" stuff. He found a great crane game (for the little Aliens) but, it was so massive we opted not to pick it up. Of course, when we got home, he couldn't find it anywhere! His poor heart was broken! Thankfully, it FINALLY crept into stores, and we got one (whew!). Now back to Paris;



A friend of mine always buys a new scent whenever she's on vacation. That way whenever she wears it again, it INSTANTLY reminds her of this wonderful time. I thought this was a capital idea and headed for the premier perfumier in Paris (IMHO). I found a GORGEOUS perfume, only available at that location. I fell in LOVE with this scent (Do I remember the name? No). It was perfect and summery. I did not buy it as I had JUST purchased some perfume at "H" before the trip. I am kicking myself for not doing it. That scent haunts me. I stuck the little scent stick in my guidebook and I keep sticking my nose in said guidebook hoping for a little whiff. I really should have picked up a bottle (but, in my defense, it was EXPENSIVE!)

Limp with hunger, we walked across the street (stopping for a pic) and made our way toward our dinner restaurant of choice; Les Saveurs de Flora - which my guidebook assured me would be the height of romance for our last dinner in Paris. I can attest this fact as I didn't snap a single picture of the meal. I was too busy making eyes at my husband.





On our way to the restaurant, we walked right past Le Fouquet's - it's 'the Ivy' of Paris - all the movers and shakers go to see and be seen there. Also on the way to our restaurant? Something that made the Mister bust out laughing:



ANOTHER "H"! How beautiful to see TWO! Of course, it was closed. That would be me in the picture, peering into the windows and hoping someone is inside to take pity on me. No such luck.







The windows were full of shadow puppets AND "H"! Two of my favorite things! We snapped pics of them all, I assure you!




(Still hoping someone will let me in!)

After dinner we staggered to our hotel replete with good food (and wine). The very next morning, we snagged a shuttle to the airport (where we found ANOTHER "H"! I LOVE Paris!), where we caught a flight home.


Sorry that last one was so blurry. I blame this:


That's it for Paris! Up next? COMIC-CON!
