We started off today planning to take the Batobus to Notre Dame for an inside visit which we have not done for several years. It was such a beautiful morning and we saw the top of the Eiffel Tower peaking above the trees that we decided to walk over and see how long the lines were. Not bad so we decided to go to the top. The view was gorgeous. It was cold up there however but we are so glad we visited. We even picked out our apartment on the corner across the street from the red-roofed school.
When we came down we did finally take the Batobus after buying a 5-day pass. We really don't like traveling underground when Paris is so beautiful and we have the time for a leisurely visit. We were ready for lunch by the time we arrived at the Notre Dame stop so went to Au Lys d'Argent which we discovered with family four years ago. It was just as good as we remembered. We wandered the Ile St. Louis and across to the right bank completely forgetting we planned to visit Notre Dame. Oh well, perhaps another day.
We brought home cheese and fruit for dinner and some amazing cookies from La Cure Gourmand on the Ile St. Louis. The shop was so beautiful we could not resist. The almond cookies were especially good. After dinner we walked over to see the sparkling Eiffel Tower show and end our second day in Paris.
