Our last day was quintessentially Parisian: A Pain au Chocolat from Angelina (a delicious stop for hot cocoa and lucky for us, one of our closest bakeries to our apartment), meandering through the right bank, paying homage to Hermes, Chanel, Laduree and a quick pass by the Hotel Crillion. (Bella requested an image of the balcony where Hannah Montana woke up to Paris). And then we continued our meander along the Seine.
We found an 8pm concert at Theatre des Champs Elysees the night prior and agreed to give up a delicious dinner for a taste of culture. After grabbing our tickets we agreed that a quick pre theatre cocktail was in order. How perfectly serendipitous that Plaza Athenne was right next door.
A lovely glass of rose champagne, delicious bar snacks and a kind bartender who was happy to take our photo.
It turned out to be a perfect choice. We watched Lise de la Salle, a 22 year old wonder, beautifully move her fingers for 2 ½ hours straight to a rapt audience mixed with every type of person possible. After 4 incredible encores, the audience was finally satiated and went home.
Love, Cindy & Jeanie
