Exploring the 7th and 8th on foot

When we're in Paris, we always start thinking about getting an apartment.   Since we can live pretty much anywhere, and now that we are renters in So Cal, why not Paris?   So we're off today to explore the 7th and then back into the 8th.

Ah oui, c'est Paris.

With suggestions from our concierge Julien, we headed to rue Saint-Dominique and decided on the classic Café Constant.  Some pics from their maisonconstant.com website...

And today's special...

We split the delicious Artichoke heart salad with button mushrooms in vinaigrette. 

For our main, we went with the Escalope of veal Cordon-Bleu, as the Kids like it...  although it sounds much better in French... Escalope de veau Cordon-Bleu comme l’aiment nos enfants.

OMG, the profiteroles!

Nah, we didn't like it at all.

Back across the Seine, somehow exploring the 8th turned into "Let's go to Avenue Montaigne".   Woe is me.

I guess she wants me to see something.  LOL.

Back at the hotel, we rested up before staying in house and dining the hotel one Michelin star Cantonese restaurant, Shang Palace.  Food and service were both excellent, once we got past the "do you have another table" moment.
