Took our breakfast in Hotel Pullman Paris Rive Gauche around 8.30am and went out around 9.30am. Today we had the entire day to ourselves and before the trip, I had already planned the itenery. Took metro line 8 (Balard Station) to Concorde then changed to line 4 to Cite where we visited Notre Dame Cathedral and saw the zero point of Paris. Didn’t get to climb the tower in Notre Dame Cathedral and didn’t get to see the emmunael bell as well as the gargoyle though. Walked around St. Louis Island, found La Maison Berthillon but didn’t get to eat coz Kim didn’t want to. We then walked along Boulevard St Gemain des Pres and found Patrick Roger but didn’t buy anything coz the things were very expensive. Missed a turn therefore didn’t get to find Laduree Bonaparte as well.

Turned into Rue des Saints Peres and cross Pont du Carrousel instead of Pont des Arts and along the way, we bought a 30cm long baguette with hotdog, cheese and mayonnaise each as lunch and ate under Pont du Carrousel. Headed to Musee du Louvre where we took some photos at the glass pyramids before walking through Jardin des Tuileries to reach Place de la Concorde. Strolled along Avenue des Champs Elysees through the Winter Market and went into the Disney shop, Adidas shop, etc. Bought some macaroons from Laduree Champs before walking to the L’Arc de Triomph to see the ceremony. Didn’t get to climb the L’Arc de Triomph coz Kim didn’t want to and also it was too foggy to see much even if on top. Saw some dog poos but fortunately we didn't step on any even though we didn't really walk with our heads down all the time. Headed back to the hotel around 7+pm via metro.
