Paris Day 4 Pt 2 - Galeries Lafayette, La Rotonde & Le Souffle

The famous dome


Surprisingly, you actually have to queue to enter the Chanel boutique in the malls here. A lot of people were affronted when told they had to wait for their turn to enter.

Since it was our last night in the city, I decided to get this with the last of my Euros.




There was an area for people to sit around and chill out on the rooftop.


The Opera Garnier opposite...
The place had a pretty nice view.


My mum then decided she had to use the bathroom before we went to the next spot on our itinerary. We followed the signs pointing to the toilets and were led to this place...




And we were like 'huh, where is the bathroom?' and walked around the place looking, another Japanese tourist was also looking for the bathroom so we were like walking around in confusion together lol. Then I looked again and finally realized that the colorful things on the walls was actually colored rolls of toilet paper! Point WC, WC meaning toilet, DUH! At first glance I thought this was a spa or something. LOL it was such a wtf moment, but the biggest WTF was that there was an entrance fee of EUR1.50 to use these toilets! My mum really had to go so she just paid to go in while I waited outside for her. Anyways, for EUR1.50 you would think they would have the colored TP for people to use inside but no, just regular boring white ones...


Next we went for dinner at La Rotonde.




 
My fave French onion soup, wonderfully cheesy...
Escargots were pretty blah, not enough garlic butter.

Saved some room for dessert at Le Souffle...



Raspberry souffle. It looks so pretty but I didn't like it, the raspberry was a little too sour, needed something to balance the acidity.
The Grand Marnier souffle on the other hand was just amazing!

Went for an evening stroll after...
