Saint Michel and the Champs-Elysees in Paris

This is real Paris. A small drift from Saint Michel and you would end up into streets with seemingly endless restaurants, cafés and brasseries. We roamed about there quite a bit and found the neighborhood to be an interesting mix of cuisines from many places in the world, including Indian. Although when we wanted to eat the Indian food there, the restaurant was closed. The usual seating facing the streets was true for all the restaurants there. This place is popular and we seemed to be at somewhat ease to start a conversation for asking for directions. Tarun seemed to have mastered this art and this has led us to meet some nice friendly French people. People eat here all the time. There is no standard time to have food. Anyway a snack with a coffee never hurts.

Champs-Elysees is the Paris’ grand boulevard. We walked over this area a little bit and were instantly made aware of the stature of Paris in the world of fashion. All the big classy stores are here and so are the classy people. I would not hesitate to say that we watched a lot of people and the different styles of dresses they donned such styles not yet out in the world. Fashion sees dawn here, I guess.
