A walking day, + Moulin Rouge

After a late start (sleep patterns still very wonky), we spent much of yesterday walking the sights and shopping. Luckily there is a rooftop area at the LaFayette shopping precinct where I could sit and read while Robyn browsed.
Loved the 11pm show at Moulin Rouge, after dinner at the Place de Clichy. 45 girls and 15 guys fantastically costumed, plus miniature ponies, swimming with snakes, dogs and 3 support acts. We had great seats 2m from and facing the stage. It came to a choice of drinking the (included) bottle of champagne, or staying awake. Rob struggled through dinner, but remained bright-eyed for the show. Sadly, no photos allowed!

Ave Rapp
A fascinating nook with a geometric trompe l'oeil on a bare wall.
Very snazzy limos outside Chanel, Gucci, Prada, etc.

Revealed!

LaFayette Rooftop
Who can spot the Arc de Triomphe?
Again, the weather was kind with only a light jacket needed.

Moulin Rouge
Photo on entry, before I was told "pas de photos!". Seating for 850 people. Two shows a night at a minimum €100 per head. Do the sums...

Next time I want to see Sel with the handbag in the photo and Robyn behind the camera. We need evidence (apart from the dry wit) that Sel has really 'left the country'.

How lovely is this photo? both of Robyn and the Tromp l'iel!

Sel is that a putting green on that building top. Well spotted!

Don't joke, after a week away, I'm starting to feel golf withdrawal symptoms!
