Ooh la la! Another morning to sleep in. With nothing planned early, there was no pressure to do anything but take it easy – so we did!

Once we did get cleaned up, we headed out for a little walk. We were looking for a newer place that is an offshoot of Les Deux Magots. It’s located in the backstreets of the 6th arrondisement and just serves smaller items like soups, salads and sandwiches as well as their featured financiers.

It only took a few minutes of walking until we found it. We had actually passed by twice in the last couple of days without realizing it. Comptoirs des Deux Magots is the name and we were happy that we found it. It’s nothing fancy, but the food is good. We both had chicken Caesar sandwiches. Before leaving, we picked up a few financiers for back in the room.

We sat down next to a younger couple with a child from NYC. The kid was cute and didn’t start fussing until we were leaving, so I’d call that a win. They were in London and just grabbed the Eurostar for a quick weekend visit. We compared travel notes and enjoyed chatting with them.

Afterwards, we weaved our way through the neighborhood streets doing a little window shopping. There were many clothing shops, jewelry shops and art galleries with lots of people browsing. The €4000 pinkie rings may have kept them browsing too!

While we were walking we felt a few drops of rain, so we started angling our way back towards the hotel.

I do have to say, there were plenty of people out and about. The eateries were all busy at lunch time and despite it being cold, people were still sitting outside at some of the cafes. Some of the cafes had heaters, others had blankets and for the extra hearty people, some just had their cold chairs. Brrr….

Back at the hotel, we just relaxed for a while. Tonight we are going to a concert.

The concert was held at La Madeleine, and was a performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons along with a few other popular pieces such as Pachebel’s Canon, Avé Marie and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The musicians were Les Violons de France,

The venue, the music and the musicians were all perfect. We enjoyed ourselves and the audience was very appreciative with their applause being the indicator.

Outside, the drizzly rain made it feel cold, but the streets still looked festive.

We made our way to the Metro station and headed back to the hotel. We both were feeling a little peckish, so we stopped at Cafe Louise for a glass of wine and a quick bite. It was a great way to cap off the day.
