Paris Vacation - Day 8

 

This is the closing chapter in our April in Paris, 2001 adventure. I'm typing this on the plane somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. We rose today to no hot water, BUT the sun was shining! We walked over to the Marché de Saint-Germain (the French equivalent to a shopping mall) located only about a block from the hotel. Beth did most of her final shopping by picking up a birthday gift for her cousin and a duplicate of the purse she bought earlier for a business associate who had admired it. For our final French meal we picked up some pâté, a Mont Briac cheese and a small bottle of Bordeaux. We then proceeded a short distance to the Les Jardins du Luxembourg (the Luxembourg Gardens), a beautiful park, where we sat and enjoyed our typically French lunch. Lovely.

And the Sun was out.  See?
