Paris - Raz and Socks have a ManCat day together!

The other day Ellie, Allie and Gracie visited the famous Poilqne Pastry shop. If you missed it you can see it HERE.  Bakery shops are nice but my buddy Socks asked if I would take him for a ride in my snazzy Renault.  Of course I couldn't refuse that!  I loved zooming around Paris!!

Riding around Paris made us thirsty so we stopped at a Parisian wine shop to have a couple of glasses of special nip wine.

Socks was really in a hurry to get into the wine shop!  As you can see, he was rolling around in some primo French nip and was very thirsty.

We spent some time picking out the right wines to try.....

Please biggify for detail

We hope you enjoyed our time in Paris!  We certainly did!   Many thanks to Gracie for putting the trip together!!

Paris - Dinner at Tour D'Argent and a Cruise down the Seine

What trip to Paris would be complete without dinner at the Tour D'Argent and a cruise down the Seine?

Gracie joined us for dinner.....isn't the view stunning?

Allie had to go right up to the window to really take in the view.

Dinner was delicious - especially the Pike Quenelles

After dinner We headed out for our sightseeing tour on the Seine.  Raz likes to be up front to see all the action.

See you tomorrow!!!!

Paris - Today we're visiting Notre Dame

Today we're off to visit the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame.

We're waiting to go inside....hopefully we'll stay out of trouble here.

Did you know Notre Dame has Gargoyles?

The Gargoyles of Notre Dame:

What do you see when you look up to the top of the great cathedral of Notre Dame? You see monsters, half-man and half-beast. These demon looking creatures carved out of stone are called gargoyles. They are one of the many eerie stone figures that adorn the gutters of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Gargoyle comes from a Latin word, meaning gullet or drain. That's what the strange looking creatures are, they're drainpipes. Each grotesque figure has a passageway inside that carries rainwater from the roof and out through the gargoyle's mouth. From the top of the cathedral's towers the gargoyles have a magnificent view of the city.

OH NO!  Ellie and Allie - GET DOWN!!!

Where's Raz???
