A quick note to let you know that we are currently in Paris, sitting in Place de Berlioz surrounded by beautiful apartments, falling autumn leaves and with weak sunshine to warm us.
We are staying in Montmatre and have spent our time thus far wandering up and down the narrow streets of this area of Paris.
Some parts are dense with tourists - it is the school holidays in France - but there are quieter areas which we enjoy exploring.
Last night we attended dinner at a college where students are learning all aspects of the hospitality industry. We enjoyed a fine meal (John says 'exceptionally fine') with very attentive and friendly students to provide all one could wish for ... desserts came out on three trolleys ... which ones would Madame like? (I only chose two - that was after 'amuse bouche', 'entree', 'main plat', and 'selection du fromage')
We're now off to enjoy a chocalat chaud at the local cafe of 'Amelie' fame ... à bientôt!

Ah, Paris. Such a beautiful City. My husband & I spent a week there in May of this year. Our dearest friends gave us a gift voucher for dinner at the Eiffel Tower...then on the evening of our dinner they arrived in Paris from Melbourne to have dinner with us! A night we shall never forget!
Hi Jenny,
What a thoughtful, memorable gift! The Eiffel Tower is special anyway so I can imagine what a wonderful evening you had.
