That's where we headed for our last adventure of the day on Sunday. (Yes, we're still talking about the same day that we went to church, even though it's been weeks since I posted about that.) There were all sorts of fancy boutiques, luxury car dealerships and other high-end businesses, so Brian decided it was a perfect time to get some dinner . . . at McDonald's:
Typical American! He was also in heaven when he saw the Nike store.
Whit and Deid, however, were more excited when they saw Laduree, the premier pâtisserie in Paris. Apparently they are world famous for their double-decker macaroons (which are much better and completely different than what you would think of as macaroons here in the U.S.):
Here is another covert shot of some of the other pastries there, including gallettes (which we didn't eat here, but we did later on during our trip):
Deidra had to be sneaky because weren't supposed to take pictures, apparently. We didn't really know that until Whit got caught.
But here are the girls with their successful purchase of delicious, fancy, over-priced pastries!
And with that, we finally called it a night. Ok . . . so we actually took the metro back to a street near our hotel and found a nice place to eat dinner. Then we called it a night.

Our favorite game to play while strolling this street was, "See who can find the most expensive item!" I truly felt like I was in Paris. I half expected to find totally famous people just strolling alongside us. What a view from atop the arc! Lucky!!
ps...just for fyi, i read a blog a few days after we got home from paris and they actually had a french lady come teach them how to make macarons (where i found out that they are pronounced maca-rone, not macaroon, as in the u.s.). i thought that was interesting and would have caused less stress on my end of trying one because i wouldn't have mixed it up with the coconut in macaroons here.
