After lunch, the ladies had a great time shopping at Lafayette Gallery, the largest shopping complex in Europe.

Everybody knows where is this place!

Going to Paris without trying escargot (French snail) would be incomplete. So for dinner, we had escargot and red wine. Tasted good.  Its texture is like abalone and also a bit like  squid, very Q. This molluscs is cooked with butter, garlic and sauce.  If at home, I wouldn’t try eating snail at all!

Eating escargot must go with red wine

Every one was ready to taste escargot

Cheers!

At night we had another river cruise on the Seine River to enjoy the night scenery of Paris and of course the Eiffel Tower.
