Today we took our annual walk down the Champs-Elysées. I was a beautiful day, bright blue sky, and temps in the low 80’s. You read correctly, low 80’s at end of October. Here is a typical view of the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the boiulevard.
We stopped for the first time ever at Fouquets, the very popular, very expensive, café on the corner of the Champs and the avenue Georges V. We had nice seats right on the Champs and enjoyed a beer and a hot chocolate. Guess who had the beer. Here is the café
And here is the view from our table. Don’t know the guy but he was smoking a very smelly cigar.
After an enjoyable hour, we continued our stroll. We stopped at the Toyota salesroom where they were celebrating their 75 Anniversary. They had on display some of their earlier models from the 60’s and 70’s. Here are a few. The oldest one on display was the Land Cruiser.
It was a lovely day and we finished our walk at the Rond Point des Champs-Elysées at which point there are no more stores, but only the gardens all the way down to the place de la Concorde. At the Rond Point, we took two busses back home. We had a light dinner at the Café Bretagne. They make very good salads here, very copious.
