Paris, France - Day Four

Living in Montmartre area means we were actually within walking distance away from Sacré-Cœur Basilica, so that's how we spent the morning of our very last day in Paris!




I groan everytime i see these...



The Catholic church, right on top of the hill




TheBF and i took some time arguing if this is a real man or simply a statue. What do you think? =/


Passing by the busy streets of Montmartre as we made our way to the nearest Metro station. So many artists gathered here to sell their art pieces it's unbelievable =)





Since it was last day in France, it's time to hit the departmental stores!!
First stop - Galeries LaFayette
Just looking at the exquisite architectural designs already made the trip there worthwhile ;) 






There are many places that give you a good view of Paris, and Galeries Lafayette's rooftop is one of them.



Printemps! 


I came to Paris with only one thing on my shopping list (im a poor poor student. boo) - a pair of Repetto so i was utterly disappointed when both LF and Printemps no longer stock my shoe size =( Oh what bad luck!



Since we still had a long day left, theBF and i decided to catch a movie in Paris!! =D Such a new experience because basically no seats were assigned beforehand so after you buy your tickets, it's a first-come-first-sit kinda thing!




The empty theatre because....we were too  kiasu early. HAHA.



My original plan was to bring theBF to a widely-raved French restaurant Chez Toinette in Montmartre but to my horror, they were closed for the day =( So upon Plug-Inn's staff recommendation, we walked over to Le Relais Gascon, a french place that is quite famous for their giant salads.




Our entrees were Escargots (with buttery herb sauce) and French Onion Soup (THE BOMB!!!)




I ordered Duck Confit and it came covered with yummy fried potato slices and boiled french beans! It was awesommmmmeeeeee. =)




TheBF's Chicken Scallop with Cream


And ending off the night with a wide smile from theBF. haha. 


Can't believe i finished blogging about Paris! =( So miss Europe right now. oh wells. Maybe i'll be back in Europe in September, we'll see we'll see. 

Until next time!!
