Last full day in Paris - Wednesday, March 18, 2015

And, we have another magnificent day!  We've made excellent use of our Metro passes, and today we travel to see the Lourve.  As we get off at our stop, we notice the US Embassy.  Security in Paris has been particularly heavy the past couple of days due to the recent incident of tourists being murdered in a Tunisian museum.

Upon seeing the throngs of folks waiting just to purchase tickets to get into the Lourve, Rob decides that he'll skip the experience and just take a picture in front of the famous pyramid.

Time for another coffee break, we do enjoy this delicious French coffee, and then Rob is back to the hotel for his nap.
  Teri, Alan, and I walk across the foot bridge with the many locks!  What an amazing sight!
We decide to head into the Latin Quarter.  On the way, we stopped at a fantastic scarf shop where I made a few purchases.  Then we found a great restaurant, Le Mondiran, in St. Germain,  to dine outside for lunch.  It was, as Judy Meadows always says, "A Chamber of Commerce" weather day!  We roamed the streets to find the famous fountain where many of the university students like to add bubble bath to:
And across the street, Teri found a fabulous French cookbook while I picked up a couple of last "treasures" to take home.

Alan had a restaurant in mind for our last evening, so we walked over to make sure that it was still in business, because several of Alan's favorites on this trip were closed.  Luckily, it was open, so we made reservations, and then headed back to the hotel to freshen up.  Our "last supper" in Paris at de Noble was amazing!  What a way to end our World Wars Tour!  Auvoir for now!
