This is our last day in Paris, took subway to 巴黎佛光山-IBPS PARIS, a Buddhist temple in Paris. After that we took the light rail train to near by Chinatown.
walked around Chinatown, and it was Chinese New Year so celebration was going on. Had lunch at Pho 13.
Next we went to a famous photo spot ‘Eifel Tower under the bridge‘, couple of movies scene was shot here, including Jason Bourne.
After the photo shot, walked by Eifel tower where crowd get together and ready for the strike next day, had a coffee break at Corso Kléber – coffee Irish cream
The grand finale, all you can eat Japanese buffet Shushi House near our hotel to finish this wonderful trip.
Day 5 of the Paris trip, went to Louise for breakfast croissant, same place where we had our cocktail tasting last night.
Next to our Hidden Gems in Le Marais Walking Tour, with Joanna again.
walked to La Maison Mochi, one of the place Kelley recommended
Next on the list is the Montmartre & Sacré Coeur walking tour. We met our tour guide Heidi, across the street from Moulin Rouge, Heidi talked about some of the painting done by a French artist, that he was drunk for most of the time, but really enjoyed the life at Moulin Rouge, that was back in in 1800.
Next we walked up to the hill, and stopping by places where Van Gogh used to live in Paris, 54 Rue Lepic in Montmartre
Van Gogh lived here
Next walked to the top of the hill where Sacré Coeur Church is, and later enjoyed the Champange Groumand tasting.
After Church tour, we got to another Paris Pass goodie – the Champagne tasting with desert, Au Cadet de Gascogne.
Well, next on our list is the Chocolate Museum, sounds funny, but we got there right on time, a very interesting place, of course we did enjoy a hot cholate, after all this is still part of the Paris Pass!
After Chocolate Museums, went back to the hotel to take a short break, it’s a busy day, then up to our next Paris Pass destination – Beer Tasting at Maison BAPBAP, I like this tasting stuff!
Took subway to the north of Eifel Tower, there is a bridge where you can take great look at the tower!
Eifel Tower Light show
Final thing for the day: dinner at New Jewad, 4 entrees, 3 cocktails and one bottle of red wine!
Early morning walked to BigBus pickup location, and took BigBus tour to Louvre. When we did the Louvre tour the first day, it was mainly inside, and didn’t see the Pyramid well, this time we looked it from outside and it was awesome!
After the Louvre photo ops, hopped on the BigBus to go to next destination Covered Passage Tour, but this time the BigBus tour lady gave us the wrong information, that BigBus took us further away, so we have to quickly got off the bus, using Google Map, our best tour guide, and ride the Metro, and met our tour lady Joanna right on time.
Next we hopped on the metro to another walking tour – Norte Dame, where we met our tour guide Sophia in front of the entrance. Of course we didn’t ‘get in’, since the church was burned and closed since 2019, it is going through rebuild now, French President Emmanuel Macron claimed that he will have the restore completed by 2024 Paris Olympic, but I doubt it. So we just walked around Norte Dame, which is very close to Latin Quarter. Also learnt that hotel in French means hospital.
So we had 3 Paris Pass activities so far today – BigBus, Covered Passage and Norte Dame, there more to go – wine tasting, cheese tasting and cocktail tasting, I like the tasting stuff!
