The weather turned on us a couple of times and we had to take shelter, but amazingly the rain was short-lived and so we were able to proceed. Ate delicious baguette et fromage de Langres--magnifique!
As we were walking along les Champs-Élysées it started to pour again, so we stopped at a café as the swanky toilets within the shopping centre (also a place to buy toilets along with all the accoutrements) would have cost €2 each. Better to pay for a coffee and crap for free. I had a small victory with my flagging (!!!) language. The coffee came with a couple of Valrona chocolates which were delicious...a bit like a sophisticated version of a Kit Kat. I asked the waitress for the bill....
En se promenant aux Champs-élysées on s'arrête dans un centre commercial. On cherche un W.C....€2 pour aller aux chiottes. On repart et nous trouvons un café dans le même centre.
Mieux vaut payer le café et chier gratuit non?
L'addition s'il vous plaît..et merci pour les chocolats...ils étaient très bons! "Les chocolats" me répondit-elle? Oui, les chocolats....
L'addition est arrivée avec quatre chocolats supplémentaires....une réusisite totale!!!
The bill please....and thank you for the chocolates--they were lovely. "The chocolates" said the waitress? Yes the chocolates, I replied. The bill arrived with four extra chocolates..a complete success.
We went on to la tour Eiffel. We were going to go up to get a view, but it was after 4 and we were meeting Doug and Lyn for dinner so on we went.
