Paris - (Fall 2025) - Day 7
Montparnasse Cemetery
This is the other large cemetery in Paris and was not far from the hotel. It makes for a large green space inside the city and many locals were enjoying the pleasant day with a stroll in the cemetery. This one also houses some famous people and there is a map at the entrance that helps you find the graves.
Le Bon Marché
We made our way back to Le Bon Marché because I wanted to try some of the fancy pastries we saw at the bakery the previous day. I chose two to go with some coffee. Yes - one of those little cakes was €14, but at least it says it's for 2 people.
Some scenes while walking back across the river.
Galeries Lafayette Food Court
We headed back to the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann but this time to check out their food market. This place also has an excellent food court with small restaurant counters as well as bakeries, sweet shops and a large wine store. No, I did not try the €45 chocolate pine cone. I did, however, buy a cone of Iberian ham for €5.
Harry’s New York Bar
Made another stop at Harry’s New York Bar on our last day in Paris.
Ô Chateau
More champagne tasting. This wine bar seemed to be pretty popular with tourists and expats as we heard a lot of English being spoken here by customers. They had a large selection of wines that you could get by the glass.
Au Père Louis
We stopped into this restaurant for a drink. The dinner service had not started yet so we just grabbed some refreshments. This place had that old and traditional feel to it. It also had a Sistine Chapel vibe with the huge painting on the bar ceiling except that in this scene, God and Adam are holding a wine glass and a bottle in the Creation of Adam scene.
The Saint-Germain neighborhood was very busy around dinner time so we kept on walking until we found a place that was not packed. I like how Parisians have really embraced the smash burger. It is very popular here and being French they take it seriously and do an excellent job making them delicious.
Brasserie À Saint-Malo
Stopped here for a last drink in Paris. We chose this place since it had the same name as the tabac cafe we hung out at in Bayeux France a few weeks ago when we started our trip.
We flew back home the next day with a tight connection through Dublin
Ireland really is green
When we got home, Ronin was wondering where we had been for 3 weeks
