Paris by night

We just went to the highest building in Paris - 55 floor- and watched the city of lights come alive.



Chocolate museum

Oh my!! This was top on our list to do today. A museum dedicated to chocolate.

A great history lesson with a fun activity for kids. Followed by a demonstration and tasting of pralines and various chocolates ... And a proper hot chocolate.. Mmmmmmmm



Street Performers

Plenty of them about, but sadly the only type Lilly wanted to see- and perhaps its just so old hat no-one does it any longer- the mime.. Have seen zilch of them. Some great singers along the canals, some enterprising ones turn up in a metro carriage dragging their own accompanying music backtrack and sporting a microphone .. Lilly was fascinated by the guy in the gold lame sarcophagus .. She wanted to know why anyone would give him money for doing nothing.. Fair point. He bowed when she gave him some coins
