Fri 1 Aug- after an expensive coffee and croissant for E15 ($23) in the hotel, we (actually Kiyomi) decided to go shopping. The weather had cooled to a pleasant 22-23 C, great for walking, so we took the Metro to the Champs-Elysees and walked to the Hermes store on Rue George V.
It wasn't scheduled to open for another hour, so we decided to have Chinese lunch. A short walk later, we found the Diep on Rue Pierre Charron, where we had 'salade a la citronnell', E11; 'legumes sautees', E12; 'nouilles sautees', E12; coconut rice pudding cakes, E7; and Chinese beer, E14; for a total E56, very expensive for the quality and quantity of food and service (they didn't even serve tea with the meal), but it's in the 'high rent district' of Champs-Elysees, so they get away with it.
Back at Hermes, Kiyomi found some things she needed while Stan read his book, 'Eagles in the Sky' by Wilbur Smith. Then on to the famous Printemps on Hausmann, with more shopping and browsing by Kiyomi while Stan sat and read. After a full day of shopping, back to the Metro for the short ride to the hotel, this time using the Gaite stop, just around the (short) block from the hotel, stopping by to pick up salad and a beer for a light supper.
