Bonjour Paris!

I love Paris.

The airport smelled like freshly baked croissants. There is no better welcome. Customs was a breeze. Train ride to the hotel was painless.

Being we arrived to Paris at 6 am, our hotel room was not ready so we stowed our bags and set out in search of breakfast. We tried finding something on the Champs-Élysées with no luck - we always try to eat there and end up arguing over the prices before going elsewhere.

That elsewhere was a place we visited on our last trip near Les Halles called Le Rive Droite. We sat outside it true Parisian fashion. A cafe au lait and an omelette later we were recharged.

Now let's see if the hotel is ready for us...
