Stage One - Day Three - Sights of Paris

Stage One - Day Three 

Sights of Paris

This day was spent showing the children the sights of Paris..

TOP TIP
A cruise was taken on the Seine with Bateaux de Paris, great sights like Notre Dame, Le Palace D'orsay and the Eiffel Tower were seen from the comfort of a glass-roofed boat.
The day was made complete with an excellent meal at L'Entrecote, a phenomenal restaurant near La Place de la Concorde.  The special thing about this place is the fact that there is only one item on the menu - Steak and Chips!  Every night the queue is around the block for the seven p.m opening time, no other local restaurant can say that.  It's truly worth the wait though because the steak and chips they serve is a fabulous treat - succulent steak, chips cooked in goose fat, and a sauce that is literallt lethal, its so good.  The restaurant is cramped, and the menu limited, but for 25 Eur you get a culinary experience. You always get a walnut salad to begin with, the main is fixed, order a nice red wine, and maybe have a dessert from the extensive selection, and you will waddle out of L'Entrecote feeling so satisfied...
