We got rudely awoken by drilling at 7.30am which continued to 9am which was completely unnecessary and annoying.. so of course we all woke up in a foul mood, sporting a slight hangover and headache from the premature unrequested alarm.
We headed to Angelinas, the famous hot chocolate shop that we had been advised to go to, at 8 euro a cup it was an expensive experience, but my god it was also a heavenly one.
Then we mooched around souvenir shops where we purchased postcards of the city and made our way to Collette, single handedly my favourite shop probably ever!! So many amazing retro cameras and amazing books.
After spending a good while in Collette we made our way down the Champs Libre, saw the Ark de Triomphe, played in the Adidas Shop for a good hour on all the games, tests and spent a good half an hour taking free pictures of ourselves and getting them printed!!
We then Visited the Dior shop that Carrie Bradshaw fell into!! On we went to the Yves Saint Laurent museum where we viewed an exhibiting ‘Les Derniers Maharajas’. The beautiful materials from India were rich in colour and mind blowing.
Then we went onto the Museum of Modern art where we viewed pieces by Picasso and other amazing artists. We also went on a ‘ride’ which took you around scary scenes a disturbing ones, one being a prostitute on her hands and knees licking dog poo (Of course these were mechanical models and not real people).
After our day of culture the sun began to shine so we decided to head over to the Eiffel Tower, unfortunately it was closed due to the heavy winds and snow therefore I didn’t get to fulfil my dream of climbing it… maybe next time?
For dinner we went to Bastille where we had a lovely meal but due to such a jam packed day we headed back to the hotel for an early night. However before bed we ran into Morgaine who told us all about this Vintage store called ‘Free ‘P’ Star’ near the Pompidou so we took down the details and planned a visit for tomorrow.
