Our luck finally ran out with the wether as we drove into Paris in heavy rain. We arrived in the Bastille at about noon and found a car park that was about two inches longer than the car, thank God for parking sensors. Having skipped breakfast, we walked quickly to L’Ebauchoir to secure a table. We were seated and ordered our final meals and a full-bodied Provisional red. Soon after, our lamb, pork and juicy rare steaks arrived and were devoured. It was all divine as we slowly finished the wine and agreed that L’Ebauchoir was our favourite restaurant and we would return one day. After lunch, we drove the short distance to the Marais and secured a fortuitous park a block away from our destination. We then wandered the back streets, making a few more purchases from the areas vintage shops before a final coffee at Le Rosiers. We arrived at our airport hotel at 5pm for an uneventful night. We will return the car this morning at 9am and make our way to CDG for our midday flight. We are due to arrive in Sydney at 8pm Monday night and should be walking through our back door by about 10.30pm. Our main goal on return is to get into the ocean as soon as possible. Our trip has again reminded us of how lucky we are. To have pristine beaches on our doorstep is a good as it gets, for us anyway.
