Found Mathias and Nicole in SFO airport, going in the same plane to Paris as I did:
first class looks nice, but hard to justify the price they want
this was more than good enough :)
I didn't have much time to get out, but still did a bit, the highlight was the Xmas market at la Défense:
cold, but beautiful day
yum!
my favorite, seared foie gras sandwich
double yum!
beautiful bottles
the bad news is the elevator to the top is now closed forever, bit downer :(
Beautiful sunset, selfie time!
A few more pictures of the beautiful weather and sky:
On Jan 2nd, it was time to go shopping:
that was yummy
chocolate dessert refill!
and my favorite, blood orange juice
heaven
just a few :)
this should do nicely :)
In the afternoon, a few hours to go in Paris:
Finally got to see Legay shock bakery:

It would have been nice to go back in, but I've been many times and it wasn't worth the wait:
