Today was our last day in Paris. We took the metro and headed towards Notre Dame. After taking some pictures at Notre Dame, we walked over to the Hotel de Ville (city hall). There was a big ice skating ring set up. We chose to stay on the side of the rink where it was safe (we watched more than one person hit the ice!). Next we started walking down the street searching for a restaurant to eat lunch at. We were heading in the general direction of a restaurant I had read about on a blog. When we finally found it we decided the price range was a little more than what we wanted to pay, so we turned around and headed back towards some restaurants we passed along the way. We finally chose a really neat little restaurant that was decorated in a 50's diner motif. After some delicious open face sandwiches like Croque Madames, we headed back to our hotel, grabbed our suitcases and walked back to the metro. After riding the metro back to one train station, we had a short walk to our train station (the Gare de Lyon). We then had about an hour wait, so we grabbed some sandwiches to take on the train for dinner. The train ride back had no stops, so we were home in just over 3 hours. Although we had a great time in Paris, it was nice to be home, and it was nice to come back to Clermont and feel like we were coming "home".
