Paris - Day 1 - Part 1 - Breakfast

After arriving at the hotel and dropped off our luggage, as hotels in Paris typically allow check in after 2pm, we started out venturing. So it's time to bring out the guns. The travel plan in paper with the GPS unit on, we went searching for Paul, the famous boulangerie a.k.a.bakery. The bakery is just about 800 metres from the hotel at Rue Pierre Demours, and so we walked and of course 'armed'.

Some kind of art.

There is a Monoprix near the hotel, which sells food and clothes, this is handy.

The streets of Paris, like the flowers.

We just marveled at the building.

Such a nice feel to walk the streets of Paris during autumn, a bit sunny would be better.

After two minutes of walking, we finally reached Paul.

Very antique feel to it.

Hmm, we better sit inside, not like the Parisians, the worker is just inside.

A choice of different breakfast items.

Too bad we were too late for breakfast set, have to settled with a la carte menu items. Still there are plenty of yummy pastries

Apple pie on the top left, so many to choose...

'Emporter' means take away and 'sur place' means dine in. Dine in is more expensive. Yummy , yummy.

Tarts, macarons, mille-feuille, yummy yummy.

So much to choose from ... what should I get ?

A fruit tart and the famous croissant with 2 big cups of tea.

Buttery crisp croissant with tasty fruit tart.

Fine quality Dammann Freres Ear Grey tea, to kick start the day

The tea is definitely 'Noir parfume' or black perfume especially after 13 hours of long distance flight.

The fruit tart, so nice.

So into the food, the ambiance is stunning also.

Such unique decor, like the blue colour wall with trimmings.

It's a flower shop opposite Paul bakery.

Had a wonderful breakfast, so it's time to go venture further.
