Paris: Day 5 (January 2)

Today Dad and I both weren't feeling too well but we sucked it up. Especially since we had reservations for the best restaurant in Paris, Taillevent. It has three Michelin Stars, the highest possible. So many people waited on us and there were soo many utensils. They brought different utensils out for each course but I thought the original seven was a lot! I had "scrambled eggs" with lobster and some seafood foam. I wouldn't consider it to be scrambled eggs because it had a different texture and taste, but that's what they called it. Then I had cod with caramelized fennel and other little details like a candied lemon slice. Afterwards we had a cheese that was topped with some kind of berry compote and pieces of arugula. For dessert I had a chocolate mouse cake with Tahitian vanilla ice cream. It was excellent!

We went over to the Eiffel Tower and took pictures.


Then we went to the Musée d'Orsay, which houses the best general collection of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gauguin. Some of my favorites! It was really great to see some of my favorite pieces of arts. I have always loved Impressionism!







We went to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. It was around 5 pm and a mass was going on but we were able to walk around inside and sit down for a little bit.
