We had a great breakfast at the hotel. All very swish. The china they use for breakfast is just beautiful. The girls are fussed over everywhere they go in the hotel.
They wanted another swim so back to the pool for a quick dip. Then we set off along our famous street. There are so many stunning shops. I managed to buy two dresses at Marina Rinaldi – I bought the dress I wore to Liz’s wedding at this same shop. Next door was Ladurée so we had to stop for morning tea at such a famous macaroon institution. Then onto La Contrie. I had planned this as the extravagant treat. The girls got to design their own handbags. We chose a style which they can use now but will work as a small clutch when they are older. They chose the leather for outside and leather for inside, plus the stitching and hardware. They take 3 months.
On the way back we stopped at Bloch and there were some ballet flats on sale so they each chose a pair. I laughed when I discovered we came all the way to Paris to buy some Australian shoes!
In the afternoon we went by taxi to northern part of the city to the cooking school. The other kids were American. Although one dad was originally from Melbourne but now lives in Texas. The girls enjoyed it and we bought the red aprons as a souvenir.
We had a bit of a rest time then we went to a small restaurant just around the corner for dinner.
The girls are having fun and are both behaving really well. We are all exhausted at the end of each day.
