France - Day 12

On this day, we discovered the shoe street...a long street, rue Meslay, dedicated to shoe shopping for retail and wholesale. It was a few minutes' walk from our Crowne Plaza hotel.



I bought 3 pairs of shoes, Marissa and Kiki each bought 3 pairs as well. Mark just shook his head and held our bags. Poor guy.

We then headed to another popular neighbourhood, rue Montogeuil. Here, lots of shops and restaurants line the long street.





We spent a long day walking. We went back to our hotel to get freshened up for our reserved dinner seating at La Regalade St. Honore.


The cornichons (tiny gherkin cucumbers)
The pate
Bread
The risotto in squid ink starter (Mark and Marissa had this)

My duck starter

Kiki's lasagna starter (hands-down, the best out of all of the starters)
Here are our entrees. I don't remember each dish in detail, as they were very complicated.




 The desserts...
The Grand Marnier souffle - what this restaurant is well known for. Mark and Marissa had this.
Kiki's raspberry yogourt dessert
My sweet figs - very nicely done
Madeleines, which came with our check.
Post-dinner pictures...
