Third time's the charm: Paris with Julie: Day 5

This day was Julie's last full day in Paris. Through tripadvisor I had found out about a website called The Fork where you can make lunch and dinner reservations for your favorite restaurants in France and Spain and possibly get HUGE discounts. The restaurant Le Reminet has been on my radar for a while since the lovely ladies of my Paris forum had gone there several times. Sure enough, The Fork had a 40% off discount! The best part was because the discount was attached to the reservation, you didn't have to do the awkward 'Um...I have this coupon" conversation in French.

After a lazy morning, we made our way to Le Reminet for a delicious lunch! We both had a really nice French white wine, the name of which I didn't catch. Julie had the roast duck with amazing cheesy potatoes and a dessert incorrectly translated "crusty cake". It was more like Angel Food cake circle filled with apricot mousse served with pineapple. Here was my lunch...

Our cute little French restaurant

Scallops and Parma ham with corn blini on leeks with a lemon corriander sauce

Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse with a chocolate milkshake

It was amazing! Loved it! They also had a 14 euro lunch special but decided to go for the actual menu since we had the discount.

After lunch we went to Bon Marche to pick up some gifts and enjoy wandering around their fabulous food hall. Then we metroed it to Galerie LaFayette, my favorite department store in Paris. I immediately went to Pierre Herme for my chocolates and a few macarons...mmmmm...we enjoyed browsing the kids section (ahem, more like the kids floor) as well as the books/souvenirs section before taking a peak at the top floor terrace with a view of Paris.

After our shopping extravaganza we took it slow and Julie finished packing. Hard to believe the time went so fast. Until next time!
