Today, we checked out of the fabulous Le Castel Nobel Guesthouse, left Bayeux to return to Paris.
We stopped in Caen for lunch, hoping to have lunch at Bouchon du Vaugueux again. However, they were closed. So we ate here, an Italian restaurant:
 |
| Mark had the Margherita pizza |
 |
| Marissa had the spaghetti boulagnaise |
 |
| Kiki and I had the spaghetti in in a lemon/garlic/olive oil |
|
Everything was topped with arugula. Luckily, I love arugula because it seems to be the current lettuce of choice in France, as it's served everywhere.
We arrived back in Paris, mid-afternoon, and checked into the Crowne Plaza Republique. We had to book two rooms as it's difficult to secure a room with two double or two queen beds. Very unlike North America. The hotel was very nice, and customer service was amazing. We slept very well in this hotel.
That evening, we stayed close to the hotel and ate at a nearby pub/grill as recommended by the concierge. I forgot the name, but here's what we had:
 |
| Mark and I ordered the same thing - a chicken curry - excellent! |
 |
| Marissa and Kiki ordered the same thing - a ravioli dish - which they enjoyed too. |
And that was our day. Pretty restful. Which was good. Because the following day had a lot to do with walking and shoes...
