The Anticipation

Sculpture in the gardens Tuilleries
To the Place de Concorde Blue Iris
Afternoon coffee Dinner

The day began with sunshine and coffee.

We set out to briefly mingle with the many tourists at the  the Sacre Cœur and planned our walking tour routes for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We lunched and then spent hours sourcing ingredients and exploring the city. We walked through the Tuilleries to the Place de Concord and into St. Germain. We stopped for a coffee to refuel and then headed on to the Bon Marché for some menu inspiration.

Before we knew it we were hungry for dinner and found ourselves at Brasserie Lipp where we ate delicious beet and mâche salad, roasted chicken, beef tartare and frites. Our waiter was patient and funny and even though it had started to rain when we emerged onto Boulevard St. Germain we were ready to walk back up the hill to our neighbourhood in Montmartre to do a bit of work.

One final day of planning and preparation before our group arrives on Friday!
