Au Revoir Paris

 
After a few great days in Paris it's time to fly back over the pond. 
A picnic in the Tuileries Gardens, an afternoon cafe' and a big ol' chunk of cote de boeuf and we are both blissfully happy! 
Michael found this great old style Parisian bistro that is reknown for their wood fired steaks called Robert et Louise.  The chef cooks all of the meat on a rustic open fired grill then serves it up on wooden boards with a crock of mustard and a side of roasted potatoes.  Perfectly delicious!
Luckily last night as we strolled down the Champs d' Elysee we caught the twinkling of lights on the Eiffel Tower as it was lit.  We can go home now.
