Le Louvre, Jardin de Tuillerie, and Bon Marche (Day 6)
I can't think of a better way to start the day than at the Louvre. It's just one stop down the river from my apartment via batobus. The building is magnificent, and all the beautiful art and antiquities inside, breathtaking! I can sum it up in just three letters. OMG! After the Louvre I strolled through the Tuillerie Gardens and stopped at a garden cafe named after me, Cafe Diane. I ordered a wonderful salade; jambon, mozzarella, copeaux de parmesan, tomate, huile d'olive et basilic. Tres bon! The afternoon was spent at the church La Madeleine where I enjoyed a beautiful chorale chambre who even sang "Amazing Grace". I finally made it to Bon Marche today. It's a gourmet lover's paradise and is filled with row upon row of biscuits, candy, chocolates, jams, artisan breads and pastas, wine, fresh fruits and vegetables, all artfully displayed. The day ended with a nice tall flute of champagne. A votre sante!
