It was another long bus ride for us on day 40 but it was our last for a while - thank goodness for that!!
As we've been to the beautiful city of Paris before we have already seen most of the main sites (climbed the Eiffel Tower, saw a cabaret show, eaten escargot & frogs legs) and so we wanted to spend some time on the left bank and hit the streets early on our first full day to do some exploring and photo taking.
After wandering the streets for a few hours, we grabbed some lunch before heading towards the Eiffel tower for a picnic. On the way we stopped at a patisserie and a corner store so that we could get our supplies (a bottle of Verve champagne, a tart and some maccarons). We found some shade in a park under the tower and relaxed to enjoy our picnic. Afterwards we took a stroll along the Seine River and then down the Champs Élysées in search of a cinema to watch the new Batman movie.
After a wee bit of shopping we finally sat down and watched The Dark Night Rises (English version with French subtitles) and what an awesome movie it was, well worth the wait! It finished quite late so we then caught the metro back to the area we were staying in and grabbed a late night dinner, lucky for us the Parisians eat quite late!
