Walked along the Champs Elysee, stopped and had our last expensive coffee at Georges IV. Ouch!

Our last day of the trip and Paris! We headed over to Paul's for pasty, cafe and hot chocolate (thick and yummy), then to Montmarte and Sacre Coeur. Well it is a bit sleazy, and touristy and we kept an eagle eye out for pickpockets and sc... <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://europetrip.vox.com/library/post/day-42---october-12---friday.html?_c=feed-rss#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e3989a4608000200e398c23d1f0005?_c=feed-rss">Send to a friend</a> </p> http://europetrip.vox.com/library/post/day-11---october-11---paris.html?_c=feed-rss nobody@vox.com(David W.

Decided to walk to the Musee D'Orsay. We walked near the US Embassy area again. Police and their vans were everywhere - some of them were inside watching DVD movies, TV, reading the paper.

We figured out it was probably the mostly raw burger he had eaten on Day 8! He yogurt, aspirin and slept until about 11 am. I got ready to go and he showered and was ready by about 12:30 pm.

I love the musicians in the metro - we have been serenaded by guitars, bands, saxophones, accordians, violinists - some good, some not so good. :) The tour is sup... <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://europetrip.vox.com/library/post/day-9---october-9---paris.html?_c=feed-rss#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e3989a4608000200e398c167c70002?_c=feed-rss">Send to a friend</a> </p> http://europetrip.vox.com/library/post/day-38---paris.html?_c=feed-rss nobody@vox.com(David W.

So I thought we would get up early and head to the L'Orangerie for the 9:30 am opening. We got out and about around that time - wow so quiet and less crowded that time of day.

We left the apartment around noon and headed to the fabulous Paul's Bakery on the corner for chicken sandwiches. We walked along the Champs Elysee and ate them in a small park.
