Today (Sunday) is our very last day in Paris. Tomorrow morning at 8am our car is picking us up to take us to CDG and then home. I'm looking forward to going home, to see my family and friends and of course my dear little pug dog. Being our last day, we wanted to keep it relaxed and low key. So we headed off for the Tuilleries garden (as mentioned earlier, one of our favourite places in the entire city) and took in the beautiful gardens and statuary. We did a complete turn about and walked home via the rue de Rivoli. We made a pit stop in the Galleries du Louvre antique mall, where we admired much and purchased not (saw a terrific little store that sold only walking sticks!), and sat for a delicious lunch in a nearby cafe. We hopped back on the metro to our apartment and had a some pastries and a nap. For the afternoon, we discovered more of the Ile St Louis. In the St Louis church we discovered the tomb of the Czartorsky family, who, believe it or not, are distantly related to Paul through his father's side of the family! We also visited their town house, the Hotel Lambert. You have to know more about this place - click here to get the scoop. We also discovered the National pastry school (YUM!) and various other surprises. So all in all, a fitting end to a wonderful trip. As an FYI, if you want to track our progress home (our flight leaves Paris at about 11:30am (5:30am Toronto time), you can track our trans-Atlantic progress by going to www.flightaware.com and tracking Air Canada Flight 881.
Au revior Paris.
