Finally after almost 12 hours (slept very well for 6 hours in flight) I arrived in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

 

Was a long queue however it moves fast do didn't really take very long. Arriving at Baggage collection

Took a taxi at the airport to the hotel in center of Paris. Its a flat rate of 53 Euro.

Regarding my post about my lunch at Chartier 

 

I wish to advise you that you can pass this restaurant as the food is not that great though its inexpensive so no need to waste your time with this as you may have to queue for a long time like this (I passed by last night)

Someone recommended a bakery in Paris "Maison Passos" for its quiche so I had my breakfast there yesterday

 

My ham and cheese and potatoes quiche

Actually its my first time having quiche, I kindda like it

After the quiche I had another coffee and a croissant

I had brunch at a cafe opposite christian louboutin.
Very nice. My former French boss brought us there

By the way this is a pretty nice hotel and centrally located at Opera area

good for 5 nights

[steveluv]

Lunch was at a restaurant close to the hotel and its really good I must say - Bistrot Rougemont

Fantastic escargot - staff told me only serve escargot for dinner but I insisted so he obliged 

Beef was also very good

But why the French don't make good French fries? Fries looked rather sad no? 😂

Had very late dinner at 9pm last night. Took a long walked 

Narrow lane towards the restaurant

The restaurant on the right

Frenchie the restaurant

A very nice red, I remembered I had this a few times before when I visited Rhone 

Tarte tomatoes and mozzarella

Main course - black pig pan fried

Super tender pork

Nice walk back to the hotel

not crowed. kind of unsafe at night time? 

Like in Bangkok I feel Paris is very safe no problem walking around when it’s dark. 
 

if you ask me where I don’t feel safe I’d say Jakarta and KL.

Be extra careful in Paris.  There are pickpocket syndicates.

Steve, if you have a sweet tooth, you should try "the best" Parisian icecream. The most famous Parisian ice cream parlor, Berthillon has been an institution in Paris for locals and tourists since the 60s and it's around the corner on Île-Saint-Louis
