On to the final phase of the trip in Paris.  Time to lose the car that has transported us to this point, an Opal Insignia. The auto was perfect for our trip, plenty of power and trunk space so we only mostly looked like tourists. Had fun with it and for the first time I will say I will miss it.

Having been to this city so many times recently we can take this visit at a slower pace and just idle our way through it. For a change this time we have abandon our usual 6th Arrondissement for the 7th, rather than be close to Notre Dame we are close to Tour Eiffel and Napoleon.  After a quick rest we walked along Rue Cler over to the Tower. Dinner tonight was at Cafe Le Florimond and is in competition for the best meal of the trip. We were late for our reservation due to an accidental nap for all but the staff was very accommodating, serving the dishes with enthusiasm and flourish.  Very tasty, and original for out recent experience. Kim ordered the Chou Farci (Cabbage roll or Stuffed Cabbage) which is something I would not normally try however I have not had Stuffed Cabbage like this! The Chef de Cuisine and owner Pascal Guillaumin came out to explain what turned out to be his grand-mère‘s recipe that required many layers and many hours of cooking. What a recipe! This on top of all the great cooking we have had so far I am the one with the Fois Gras now.
