Landed in Paris at around 2.00 pm and immediately headed off to the hotel to drop our bags. I wanted to book Hotel de Rouen, the hotel which we stayed in the last time we were Paris, but I couldn't contact the hotel, even after trying both emailing and calling them. So we stayed in Hotel Niel in Ternes, which was pretty close to Champs-Élysées. The rates were pretty good, about EUR90 per day, and the rooms were pretty good for a 3-star hotel. Apparently the walk-in rate is EUR190 for a twin room.

The bathroom was pretty big, too, for Paris standards anyway. But one major gripe was the lack of a shower curtain for the bathtub! It's something so cheap and easy to install, but it makes such a huge difference. When we wanted to take a shower in the morning, we had to take special care to try not to have too much water splash out to prevent the place from flooding.

Once we put our luggage down, it was off to hunt for some Chanels! First stop was the rue Cambon store, since there were 2 other Chanel stores nearby in case the store didn't have what we wanted. And guess what, NONE of the stores had what I wanted, it was sold out everywhere apparently, CURSES *shakes fist*
Some sights on the way...
Went to the newly renovated Avenue Montaigne store to try our luck...
As expected, they didn't have it either. In the end, after much deliberation in the store and 'help' from the SA (I say 'help', cos I ended up spending a lot more than I intended to, the SAs were actually really nice!), decided to get a classic item instead.
My first Chanels: Reissue 224 and a small Classic Flap \o/
how much is the chanel small flap?
