Angelina and Sciences Po

After visiting Montmartre, we had a very late lunch at Angelina on rue de Rivoli.

Kate on rue de Rivoli

It is one of Kate's favorite spots so we have been more than once during her visit. There's always a wait to get in.

Always a line at Angenlina's

We had lunch there earlier in the week with Sande and Jenny. Sande's Vol au Vent looked so good I knew I needed to try it. I was not disappointed. And their famous hot chocolate always warms us up.

Kate ordered their breakfast combo with various croissants, a mini baguette, fresh squeezed orange juice and of course the decadent hot chocolate.

We had never tried the Mont Blanc pastry that they are famous for. We were stuffed so we bought one to go and ate it later that night. So good but so rich. We don't know how anyone could eat a whole one alone. The outside is soft chestnut cream vermicelli and inside is whipped cream with a meringue base.

When we finished, Kelly was ready to leave the office and we were just across the Seine from him. So we walked over to pick him up and see where he worked.

We walked home together along the Seine and past Les Invalides.

Then that evening we walked up near the Eiffel Tower. It was a beautiful winter day in Paris. We are so lucky to be here.
