We are in Paris again! :) This time around we stayed in Ibis Style at Château Landon. Big room with 4 beds... just nice for the 4 of us.
Once settled down at the hotel, we ate lunch at Bodrum Restaurant - a halal restaurant which is located right in front of our hotel. So convenient! Ate pizza, burgers and fries but forget to snap pics.... lapar sangat la tu... lol!
Later, we decided to cuci2 mata at Lafayette - the grand shopping mall!
Moi has been to Paris a few times... but this is my first time in Lafayette :D
The Galeries Lafayette offers all the latest fashions... all the expensive branded items! A flagship of the brand in Paris... you name it - LV, Prada, bla bla.... all those expensive brand are sold here!
So what did I buy? Errr... nothing... hehe! Blame it on the high exchange rate!! Rasa tak sampai hati nak keluar duit bila convert the currency to Malaysian Ringgit :D
After wandering around in Lafayette, macam tak ada arah tujuan... so we decided to visit another place that we've never been before - the Luxembourg Garden, or Jardin du Luxembourg.
The Jardin du Luxembourg is the biggest park in Paris, covering a massive 22.5 hectares, but it’s not just a pretty public park. It also happens to be attached to a beautiful 17th-century palace - The Luxembourg Palace. The Luxembourg Palace, or Palais du Luxembourg, was built in the early 1600s for Marie de Medicis, King Louis XIII’s mother. Although virtually nothing of the original interior remains intact today, the exterior is largely as it was when it was first built. The palace actually served as the precursor to the Louvre Museum in the mid-18th century before being used for a short time during the French Revolution as a prison. Napoleon later called it home, and it was during this time that the Luxembourg Palace first became the place where the French Senate met.
When it was getting darker, we left that place and went here instead...
Not a nice place to bring the kids :D But we did not actually enter this place :D
To those who do not know Moulin Rouge is actually a cabaret. The spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance... not a good place for us moslem to go definitely. Ni saja la ambil gambar dari luar... huhu. There was a demonstration or something going on in front of this building. Demonstration on 'saving the Palestine' I believe. I saw lots of Muslims sisters and brothers doing the demonstration. Police are around to ensure the safety of the area... so yeah, all were good ;)
Next, shopping time! A few souvy shops at his area...
As usual, saya tidak membeli belah pun... En Suami and anakanda izzaty jer yang mencari souvies...
