Parisian Living
Monday we decided to sleep in and spend the day relaxing in St. Germain En Laye. We woke up around 9:00am and took a leisurely walk through the town. We stopped at a café for espresso and crepes with fresh squeezed orange juice (what else would you do on your first day in France?) After breakfast, we visited the local grocery store and pastry shop to pick up a few things for the week. We arrived back at our place and immediately dove into the fresh baked baguette topped with salami, chorizo and Comte cheese. The food here is so delicious and fresh. It’s tough to stop eating.
We spent most of the afternoon around the estate and our guest house planning the rest of our week in Paris (while eating Belgian chocolates and drinking coffee of course). The place is beautiful (pictures).
We went for another walk into town to pick up dessert and a bottle of French wine for dinner. Anna made pasta Bolognese which we ate along with our second French baguette. The bread here is AMAZING!
Since we carbo-loaded today, we thought it would be best to go on a third walk into town and take some pictures of our view of Paris during sunset (pictures).
We topped the day off with some French pastry desserts. Tomorrow, we visit Versailles and we’ll have to find a way to burn off all the calories we’ve eaten today.
