We took the train today to L'Opera Metro stop. Isabella's walkig cards for kids outlined a walk for the Glamour Trail, so we thought it in our best interest to take the walk.
But, as usual, I got us a little further down the road than we wanted, and so we had to do some good map reading (and I even asked a magazine stall guy in French, whether or not we were on the correct path), but we found our way.
Our final destination was Laduree, the famous and fancy maccaroon baker. Along the way, we came across some beautiful boutiques and all the famous names: Chanel, Gucci, Prada (under construction), Dolce & Gabbana.
We went into quite a few high end shops, where we didn't touch, just looked, but boy was it nice to see all that beauty. There was a Japanese department store where we spent some time and got a few items. They had a nice assortment of small accessories, from different French desingers all in one place.
Lunch was at a nice French bistro, where Isabella ordered the Poulet Roti (not enough skin for her liking) and I got the Escargot and a Salade Nicoise. Isabella helped herself to the Escargot sauce again, which made her less than exciting chicken acceptable. The Nicoise had rice instead of potatoes, which I didn't love, but the flavors were good.
Finally, we found our way to Laduree. A quick survey of the flavors on offer, and we ended up with 6 total: coffee, chocolate, caramel and a dark chocolate one. The texture was amazing and the flavors just right.
Totally worth the trip!
