First - Galleries Lafayette. Beautiful but awfully busy.


And even the department store gateux looked wonderful

And every little girl needs their designer party gown at 590 euro

Moving house - apartment style

I have a cute car and can park it anywhere - even in the middle of the road

Actually - nope

Found a really cute lane with more specialist patisserie. This shop only sells eclairs

This shop was amazing and very creative with chocolate

We needed to try the nutella crepes and this place always has a queue.

A nutella and banana for me and banana for MrP

Back to Le Tour.

There were I'd say 10 of these.

The last was opened so we could see what was inside

Crowd control barriers.
Shame they don't use them on the mountain legs
And then the Team trucks rolled in to park
This was the last one

Ce soir. Raclette. Not a green to be seen




Et creme brulee

Last of the Paris food pix.



Tomorrow we are taking the fast train to Barcelona.

I'm glad you were able to have a creme brulee on Creme Brulee day.Yes it really was!
But I am getting neck pain constantly changing from sideways to upright.
Obviously a problem with dumb phones.
Still loving the pics though even though I am trying to lose weight.

Hey drron - are all the photos sideways? I know a couple were.

5 out of 5 for food were rotated and a number of the street scenes also, Pushka. My neck hurts!

ps: For reference, if using iDevices, you need to do a small crop to remove the embedded EXIF data then rotate the image before uploading. (Naughty AFF forum software should be able to read the orientation but doesn't.)

Ive never had to do that before. And weird they show up fine in using safari browser. What a pain. So which way do I rotate? I am using its 90 degrees? Which will then make all the photos in my camera roll wrong.

They show perfect on the "old" app

Which means if I rotate for the web they will be sideways for you (and me). Thats clever. Not.
