Alex and Antonio's Visit

Last weekend Alex and Antonio came to visit us. It was fun having them around. Aside from the icy cold, Canadian style temperatures, we had fun exploring Paris together.

We discovered the parc de la butte de Chaumont, a great park not too far from where we are now. We climbed all the way to the top of the butte and enjoyed the views before heading down to check out the Canada Geese.



We drank lots of hot chocolate.


And of course no visit to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower, at night. It was pretty cold, however, and our visit lasted about five minutes, the duration of the sparkling lights, before we high-tailed it to the nearest cafe for hot chocolate. It's not like we haven't seen Eiffey before!


Other highlights of the visit included the Chanson du Dimanche concert at the Elysee de Montmartre, followed by a fantastic dinner at the Cloche d'Or. So much food, but so so so good! We also managed to squeeze in a visit to Laduree for hot chocolate, and ate macarons from Pierre Herme. It was a very delicious, and fun weekend.
