We decided to go to Parc de la Villette (which is kinda like the powerhouse museum in Sydney and Questacon in Canberra) with Nat.
On the way, we stopped off at Place Pigalle to take some photos.
Then after a coffee we continued on to Parc de la Villette. This place is HUGE!!
It has everything including a big thumping cinema screen inside a huge mirror ball… it’s way cool cause the screen wraps around you and puts IMAX to shame, we saw a very interesting doco/adventure film called The Blue Nile, where this guy and his team wanted to go from the source of the Nile right through to the mouth - a journey which took 4 months as they went by rafts…. The cinematography was awesome and sometimes a bit too close for comfort.
After the movie we had lunch and wandered around the park a bit more, then it was off to the crypt of Notre Dame to see some very old foundations and a display of how Paris has evolved from Roman times to now.
Next we went back to hotel for a rest and to start the packing process, then we had dinner at the “Hippopotamus” steak house, grill. Very nice.
Then we met up with Nat at her place. Sam went up to see Nat’s room and to look at the view from the roof but unfortunately Guy was not aloud inside this Catholic girls college and therefore had to sit in the waiting room until Sam and Nat returned) We went out with Nat and one of her friends for “un pettit tour” to the Sainte Germain quarter, and then to have Crepes for desert!!!
On our way home we stopped at the Arc de triomphe as we thought we would go up and see the Paris lights, but alas we were a bit too late…but we were in time to see the Eiffel tower all lit up with sparkling fairy lights!!! It was then time for bed…
