Paris - Day 2 - Part 4 - Place Saint Michel

After visiting the Eglise Saint Severin, and not feeling that hungry yet, we opted to visit the Place Saint Michel before going for dinner.

Place Saint Michel is rather lively and being the vicinity of many restaurants, it is also a very good place for food. After the heavy lunch, we opted for a light dinner. So we decided to hunt for Little Breizh that serves traditional crepe. Crepe is actually a pancake made from wheat flour, it originated from Brittany but it is now served in most places of France.

Almost thought it was a greece flag, the interior of Little Breizh

Traditional crepe with sardines and sun dried tomatoes (€12.00)

Little Breizh, apple cider crepe with cream chese and peanut butter ice cream (€8.00)

Jus de Pomme Artisana, apple juice ( €3.50)

The sardine crepe is very nice, nicely seasoned sardines and tomatoes, very unique as the apple cider based crepe is quite similar to Penang's 'apong manis' . Overall, Little Breizh is pretty good and not too packed or crowded, if you get by the window seat, you can be the typical Parisian with the favourite pastime, people watching.

After the light dinner, we decided to go to Esplanade du Trocadero, to have a night photo of Eiffel Tower lit-up. So back to the metro to Trocadero.

Another view of Eiffel tower, is that a search light ?

Well, the whole day was pretty wet, hopefully the next is not that wet and we hoped for sunny day.
