Le Chocdoc Goûte Paris

[Kerry Beal]

If you wander around the block from the main Eclair du Genie you find their production facility and you can spend a little time trying to see the temperatures on the ovens and determine the settings on their depositor.

And the walking continues - 

 

 

 

Many fancy and not so fancy lingerie shops!

 

 

 

 

The lighting didn't lend itself to good pictures - but we found the busiest shawarma shop on a Greek street and grabbed a bite. Quality determined by the number of pigeons inside the restaurant. They seem very discriminating. I notice when the little boy at the next table left - so did the pigeons.

So after lunch we needed to do some ice cream R&D 

 

 

 

 

 

And some more walking 

 

 

Loved the kids in the park sailing their little boats.

 

 

 

Saw this store and had to drop in

Restaurant Capri - at the tail end of Boul St Honore - this is not an Amaretto Sour I discovered - just Amaretto on ice.

This is an Amaretto Sour

 I’m sorry but I can’t figure out either one of these dishes. I’m quite certain neither one of them is Japanese Ramen which is what I asked for for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow grasshopper! We had to hike up a million stairs to a church!

 

[Kerry Beal]

 

Montmartre by night.

 

 

As we came out of the church and I commented that the poor girl still needed her crutches - @Alleguede reminded me it's not Lourdes!

 

 

 

That big tower by night as seen from the Louvre. We had a rather talented gentleman spin us a tail of his wife having her iPad and purse stolen at the Louvre - he only needed 45 Euro to get he and his wife and his 4 kid back to Euro Disney. No sign of alleged wife and kids. And what a coincidence - he was Canadian too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atelier Joël Robuchon Saint-Germain attached to a posh hotel.

 

We logged 26,160 steps for a total of 17.5 km with 21 flights of steps (but it felt like more!)

Beautiful.  Stunning. 

 

Oh how I'd give almost my left arm to go to the Louvre.  You could just drop me off there for days and days.

 

Oh and PS. LOL that story that was spun to you was spun to my husband in the parking lot of a hardware store not too long ago...except he needed to get he and his wife to Dallas......

Could have been the same guy....he must have really bad luck.

Indeed - I've heard it a few times myself. I was born - but not yesterday!

45 Euro.. That's a lot of nerve!

He did say he would have been willing to take even 10 Euro to help!

This afternoon we went out of town to visit the manufacturer of this depositor - same one from Eclair du Genie. 

 

 

Beautiful machine - nice to look around their shop where they also use their 7 CNC  machines to make medical and aerospace equipment. The pump in this one makes dealing with soft, runny doughs a real treat.

Seems as if the Thermomix is getting a fair bit of competition these days. 

[Kerry Beal]

My thought too - I'd love to do a side by side and see how they measure up

I'd love to see a side by side, especially given the price difference between the two! Doesn't the ThermoMix cost three or four times as much?

and you would have to include 

 

the Kenwood pot

 

maybe one or two others ?

More walking after returning to the city - 

 

 

 

 

Ended up at the back door of the tennis match going on in the city right now.

 

 

[Kerry Beal]

The Opera House on our way to ramen

 

 

 

 

Quite a lineup - at first we thought it was smaller than the other shops - then realized most of it was inside.

 

 

Gyoza

 

 

Rice with chashu for @Alleguede

 

 

Medium fat shoyu ramen for me. 

[Kerry Beal]

And finally a leisurely hike down the Champ de Eylsses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We saw these 'drive your dream car for 90 Euro' cars on one corner. On the next corner were the valets with a bunch of similar cars. Wonder if the two are connected?

 

 

Now time to get back to our digs and get packing.

 

 

Totals for the day 22,727 steps for 15.5 km and 30 flights!

Ramen — Hope it was good. Lacks the je ne sais quoi of Kenzo at least visually.
