Leaving our hotel and heading to Paris. This hotel always had digestive biscuits on their tea and coffee tray in the room. This really should be mandatory at all hotels!
We took the chunnel to Paris. It was super fast and comfortable.
Our hotel room in Paris, which was in the 11th arrondissement, was at the tippy top of a building in what can only be described as an attic. It was tiny and adorable with a fairly big bathroom.
We asked the gentleman at the front desk where we should get dinner. He suggested Chez Wang. So yes, our first night in Paris we had Chinese food, and it was delicious. The lady at the restaurant was super nice, didn't speak any English, and when it was discovered we didn't speak any French, she pointed to something on the menu, gave us a thumbs up and disappeared. She came back with dumplings with some kind of meat and lots of onions, and they were possibly the best dumplings I've ever had, though I will need to go back to Copycat in D.C. to verify this.
We spent the next day at Musée d'Orsay, which is in an old train depot, a beautiful building that rivaled the artwork.
This was one of my favorite pieces - Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science by Louis-Ernest Barrias.
After Musée d'Orsay, we wandered around a bit. Here we are with Notre Dame behind us.
More Paris adventures to come!
