View from the window on rue Caulaincourt
Here we are. After a somewhat bumpy flight from Amsterdam to Paris we arrived right on time at Charles de Gaulle. A friendly and very speedy taxi driver deposited us at our door at 2:30 pm and we happily began settling into the spacious apartment on rue Caulaincourt. We unpacked some of our things but quickly headed out to pick up a few grocery essentials before taking a walk around this neighbourhood that we love so much.
We stopped in to reserve a table at one of our favourite restaurants for tomorrow night. We picked up a few treats at the bakery and some tea, cassis syrup and salted caramels at a sweet little shop on our way home.
My sister Lisa is here for a few days from Rotterdam so we headed out for a late dinner at Brasserie Lipp. My Mom headed to bed early to rest up for the many adventures we have planned for tomorrow.
A fine first day in Paris.
