Paris - Chez Francis

Tina and I stopped for dinner at Chez Francis after our long walk to the Eiffel Tower and boat ride on the Seine.  Actually, "long walk" puts it mildly.  I told Tina that I would map out our journey for the day, and here it is.  Our path took us to Place Vendome, through The Tuilleries, Musee d'Orsay, Rodin Museum, Les Invalides, Eiffel Tower, Place d'Alma (where we took the boat ride on the river), then to Chez Francis.  Links to all of the blog details for these other places are listed at the bottom of this post. Click (or double click...one or the other will work) on the map to see it a bit larger. Then you can appreciate this little stroll.  Tina thought that we had walked 57 miles, but I think that she was being just a tad bit dramatic. It was a very agressive agenda today, and turned out to be a bit much. We took the Metro back to the apartment.  Good idea!

A good meal, and then we were delighted with the Twinkle light show.

The Google map gives you an idea on the location.

A peak at the menu. Tina ordered fish and chips
and I had the Penne rigate, tomatoes and basillic.
Keep in mind that the listed prices include
tax and tip, the great view, and the table
for as long as we want to sit at it.

I ate one penne per minute so that we could
stretch our table time over an hour and hold
our grand seat for the Twinkle.

Tina could not resist the creme brule.
I think that this won "best in category".

Tina said "Did you pick this place intentionally?"
When I looked up and saw the Eiffel Tower,
you bet that I took full credit for the great seats.
