arrive to a misty Eiffle Tower

river cruises start here

lights down the Champs Elysee to the Grand Roue wheel

Arc de Triomphe

Apetisers in the hotel bar
delicious hot langustine
froie gras
salmon and cucumber

With the best champagne we have ever tasted
milliodes better than the fizz the flight attendant gave us LOL

The Champagne ice bucket of dreams in the bar

Gorgeous scallops in a hazelnut jus with puree celeriac
with a glass of the most complex white wine
Groz had a splendid glass of red with his steak frites

we return to our suite to find the bed had
been turned down and a little bear greeted us :)

We wrap up warm and head out to the Eiffle Tower again

via Hotel Dohkans Trocadero where we stayed previously
a lovely small Georgian French styled hotel a short stroll
to/from the Eiffle Tower

less crowded and better view of the light show
in Trocadero gardens for new years eve :)

Special lights on the Tower for it's 120th Anniversary :)

Happy New Year

We venture down to the
