Day 26 - Saturday 7th October - Paris

I'd seen some shoes in a store near us that I wanted to try on, so today would be shopping day as it's our last day in Paris. Stopped in another shop first and bought a lovely top and some nice socks. In the shoe store I tried just the right shoe on because I still have my elastic bandage on my left foot and it's a bit swollen. They are dark red with black stars all over and black tassels. Then I tried on some short, flat, dark red, suede boots. Both nice so bought both pairs. In yet another shop we bought John a new man-bag and then had to go back home to deposit our purchases. That done we caught the Metro so we could get out at Opèra and go to Galleries LaFayette. Each trip we've always had lunch in the restaurant on the 6th floor and last time we discovered the viewing terrace on the roof. We both had a plate with smoked salmon, fish  terrine and salad and a glass of wine to wash it down. Very yummy. We sat next to the windows with a view over Opèra Garnier and the roof tops. After lunch I did some shopping in the gift shop and then we headed up the stairs to the roof top to take some photos. Lovely lovely view. On our way down the escalators we stopped to take photos of the gorgeous stained glass dome of this wonderful department store.  Far too hot in the store to do any clothes shopping so we started to make our way back home for a rest and some packing before going out for our last dinner in Paris. When we got out of the Metro at Republique the smell of crepes was very enticing so we enjoyed a crepe in the square. Later in the evening we went out for dinner and decided to go back to Saint Michel. We've got the Metro down pat so changed lines and got out at the right station and the right exit, Fontaine de Saint Michel. We went to different restaurant and enjoyed another delicious meal. I had moules again for entree and John had hot goats cheese salad.  Then we both had duck, John had the confit leg and I had the something breast. For dessert we both had creme brulee of course. Wandering around the streets of Saint Michel after dinner we came across the famous Shakespeare Book Shop and saw very fat rats running into the gardens. It started raining so we headed for the Metro and our last trip home.
