Paris day trip:day two

Paris trip day two:

Back to the Notre Dame we go!!!, this time we were going to go inside but we saw the massive queue and so we decided to be sensible and took pictures outside instead which was good enough for us :)
After all that strenuous picture taking session, guess what we had again...ICE CREAM!!
We just had to go, apparently I was advised to go according to one of our friends who have been before..
The famous gelato place nearby was called Gelati d'Alberto, the service is brilliant and the gelato itself was very high quality and was not too sweet. I had pistachio and Oreo flavour, I thought the pistachio flavor was not as strong as the ice cream in Hugo & Victor on the first day. I did not like the Oreo flavour as much. 


After, we visited the Louvre, it rained so we didn't have to queue, it was great!!, we all rushed in and we got inside in no time!

We finally saw the famous Mona Lisa. My sister and I maneuvered our way to the front of the crowd to see the Mona Lisa up front, we were so damn lucky to see the painting up close.

The only reason we visited the Louvre was to see the famous Mona Lisa, after that we briskly walked out way out of here to find ourselves some luxury chocolates made in France and made by a famous chocolatier called Jacque Genin, his shop was literally named Jacque Genin, so original!!
This place was so hard to find, we search high and low but we finally found it after a long trekk. We discovered there was a mini cafe inside, selling many forms of pastries and served high tea. 
On the side was a mini chocolate shop, we is what we came for!!!


After we got hungry and went to a nearby sushi place called Enoki.



Stay tuned for the next one:)
