Last Day in Paris
Today (Friday) is our last day in Paris…such a bittersweet day! This morning we decided we would walk around St. Germain En Laye, check out the market in the square, and buy some last minute items. We strolled by a chocolate store and decided to peek in for a second. Greatest decision we could have made. We taste tested a praline chocolate as well as a chocolate with caramel infused with lime. The praline chocolate was super delicious but the lime one was to die for! After that, we knew we had to buy something. We left the store with satisfied little tummies. This was before breakfast by the way.
We finished our shopping and ate a quick breakfast in town and headed back to the house to drop off the chocolates. We rested at the house for a little bit before heading into Paris. We stopped at the Louvre to get some pictures. Our trip was not long enough to fully visit the Louvre – that will have to wait until next time. We walked through the gardens in front of the Louvre and took in the beauty of the blooming tulips and luxurious fountains.
Our destination was not far – the Musee de l’Orangerie. We walked around the museum. I (Anna) could have stayed in Monet’s water lily room for hours upon hours. The museum has two oval rooms with 8 works by Monet in total. They’re absolutely breathtaking. We finished with the museum around 5:30 and headed back to our guest house in St. Germain En Laye.
We arrived around 6:00 and had dinner in town. One final French meal followed up with cappuccino’s was just what we needed to round out the trip.
Tomorrow means back to the states. We’ll be sad to leave this place behind.
