Last Day in Paris, August 2


We spent our last day in Paris shopping, primarily at the Gallerie Lafayette and Bon Marche department stores, but we also stopped at some of the smaller boutiques along the way. The picture is the interior of the Gallerie Lafayette.

Paris weather the last few days has been chillier than what we've been used to and quite overcast. At one point this afternoon, just as Rich and I were about ready to leave our hotel for another round of shopping, the skies opened and it started to downpour. We scurried back into the hotel and spent the next few hours reading (I think Rich much preferred this to the shopping I had planned).

We had also thought about taking a Seine River cruise on our last night in Paris, but decided against that also due to the inclement weather. Instead, we had dinner at a small bistro in the neighborhood and spent the rest of the evening rearranging our suitcases for the trip home.
