The Peavy Family Blog: Day 2 in Paris

On day 2 in Paris, we all slept in. I made coffee and then headed to the Farmer’s Market right in front of our place. I bought some strawberries, cherries and cherry tomatoes and then I went to the bakery recommended by our host and picked up baguettes and chocolate bread. I even had my bag for my goodies so I almost felt like a local. Ha! We then took the metro (a favorite of the boys) and headed to walk the Champs-Elysées to the Arc de Triophe.

We stopped by a grocery store off of the main road and had another picnic lunh, but we were able to sit down this time. We then took the metro back to the Louvre Museum and the Gardens where we sat and relaxed in the park with just chatting and having some snacks. We decided to head back to the flat and eat at a place our host recommended. It was such a great choice - crepes in a little intimate setting and the boys devoured it. D-man commented he was happy to not be eating fast food. :) We then headed back to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night and to catch the sparkles. Our local station didn’t except our ticket and we almost got a penalty as there were guards at the Eiffel Tower station, but they confirmed the gates weren’t working (whew) and we were sent on our way.

Was great to see it light up again and this time not while riding away on the boat. A truly amazing experience with the boys.
