Last day in Paris and we are going to take it easy.
Before coming overseas we thought it would be easy to send our washing out where ever we were staying.
Adding up the cost of around 130 euros verses the laundromat around the corner at 8 euros was an easy game changer.
While waiting for the washing we continue to explore our local markets and shops, which still fascinate us.
The patisserie and cheese shops are specialists in their fields and there are many to choose from.
Washing done and we head to Notre Dame to see our fourth church in two weeks.
It doesn't disappoint and is as grand as you could imagine.
We spend the rest of the day strolling the streets up and down the Avenue Des Champs Elysees.
You get to see how the rich shop, with all the major world fashion labels on show in a big way.
It was an experience to see these shops and how they operate for the exclusive.
Lucky for me, Michelle has everything she needs and we settle on a coffee at the worlds biggest Nespresso shop.
The
weather turned out fantastic and it was a great stroll home along the Seine river.
Dinner at our favourite cafe, we have become regulars.
Off to Barcelona by train in the morning.

Food all looks fantastic! Glad you enjoyed Notre Dame, and sounds like you've enjoyed all of Paris. Our memories (maybe tips!) for Barcelona. Beach bars/cafe's, heaps of them, and they're all good. Gothic Quarter is great for a wander, and any small tapas place in the area will be fantastic. La Rambla (main street) is also good for a wander, and has a nice fresh market off to one side. But restaurants/cafe's aren't great on La Rambla. Also, for a more upmarket tapas feed, we were told to try and get into Quimet y Quimet, supposedly one of the best in the world. We didn't make it, as we found out on our last night and it was closed! Standing room only, and you yell for your food, but apparently the food is ridiculous. The obvious sights are park guell, and la sagrada familia. Everybody goes, so there will be crowds, but worth it.
