7 Days in Paris…Part II
March 25th, 2008 by Amit
This will be my last post on Paris. There are WAY too many things to share about Paris, so I’m just going to give you some key highlights.
A big highlight was The Louvre Museum of Antiquities, which is-without a question-the TOP Museum in the world. Shilpi and I literally ran through the ENTIRE Louvre in ONE day.
If you don’t know how big the Louvre is, it’s something like 5 miles if you go through every room.
No Joke.
Here’s some highlights from the Louvre :
Here’s some highlights from Notre Dam & Sacre Couer, the epitome of European Cathedrals (along with Westminster Abby!):
Also check out this shot of the Eiffel Tower :
Also, on our final day in Paris Shilpi and I had a chance to do some shopping.
I’m telling you, there’s stuff you can get in Paris you simply can’t find in US.
Between the 2 of us we dropped over 3000 Euros!
I bought my first REAL suit, a Ermenegildo Zegna suit. There just something magical about wearing a designer suit, the look, the feel is like NOTHING ELSE!
I wouldn’t bludgeon you with what the suit costs. To give you an idea, it cost 50% more than the Armanis they were selling and the tie alone was over a 100 Euros!
I had a chance to wear my suit that night when we went to a nice family run French restaurant :
This French restaurant was not a gourmet restaurant with Foie gras or caviar, it was more like something you would get if you had dinner with a French family.
And the food was REALLY good!
Yum!
I miss French food already!
