Galerie Layfayette and Au Pied de Couchon

We stopped in to see "Paris Story" at a little movie house. This presented the history of Paris and was a good introduction.  The presentation is in French, but each seat has a head set and you select your language of choice. One quick stop at Galerie Layfayettes (incredible inside) and went to the roof top to look over Paris. This is free and I recommend taking the time to do this.  Our dinner was light and at Au Pied do Cochon.  We were so exhausted by this time that we were nearly falling asleep at the table. We ate our dinner and went to the apartment, asleep soon after stepping foot inside the door.

View of the Eiffel Tower and Paris from Galerie Lafayette rooftop.

French Onion Soup.  This is so filling that it is a meal itself.

We were fortunate to have a window view and could watch as the world walked by.

This is a cheese board with a fruit mix and salad.

Smoked salmon, bread, salad.

I think it's very cute that Ladee said that the "Paris Story" movie was a nice introduction considering the fact that we both slept through most of it. We were so tired! But we kept moving. I had been told that you have to get on Paris time immediately or the trip would start out wrong. We certainly don't want to start out wrong. I actually DID fall asleep at the dinner table. There was no "almost" about it.

Barcelona, Spain - La Sagrada Familia Passion Facade

Image
I just took the photos, many many photos, so that I would have them to look at when I returned home and could research this building.  The Passion Facade is quite a work of art so scroll through the photos and take it all in. I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
