The Chewys’ Europe Honeymoon Trip: Day 15 in Paris/The Louvre, Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame

Paris Day 15

TGIF chewy chewy peeps! I can’t wait to finish blogging about our honeymoon trip because I have so much other stuff to share with you guys! Our second day in Paris was spent visting a museum and two churches. It’s not just any museum or church, mind you! Do you see the iconic triangle in the picture? ;P

Yes it’s none other than the Louvre Museum or Musée du Louvre if you wanna act yi ge French. Lololol. As you can see, the weather was kinda dark and gloomy in the morning, which made it perfect for indoor activities such as… visiting the museum!

Bought tickets at €11 each! Thank goodness there wasn’t any queue.

The very first thing that we did once we were inside the Louvre was to check out the famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci! Sadly, we couldn’t get anywhere near it! There was a barrier and we could only admire it from a few metres away.

The other visitors were all huddled in the other end of the room, trying to snap photographs of the Mona Lisa painting. Impossible to get a good shot, really.

The husband told me that one of his colleagues bought tickets just to look at Mona Lisa and that was it but of course we were not that extreme.

I dared misterchewy to imitate this pose but I had to quickly stop him when he was about to raise his left arm. He not paisey I also feel paisey! LOL.

My attention span was too short and I started yawning away so misterchewy suggested we end our museum tour 😛

We were totally starving but the husband insisted on joining the queue at Angelina. Singaporeans love to queue but so does everyone else. *Gasp*

The interior of Angelina exudes elegance and charm.

Reminds me of Canele and Antoinette. *Ahem*

Here we have misterchewy pouring himself the best hot chocolate drink in the world. The Old-fashioned Hot Chocolate “L’Africain” (€7.90) is an Angelina classic and is unbelievably rich, thick and chocolatey.

Yours truly had the Omelette Angelina (€16) which was expensive for just eggs, ham, cheese and mushrooms. Very yummy but not filling.

The husband went for the Seafood Risotto (€26) which was not bad too!

There was absolutely no way that we would leave without having their desserts! There were so many desserts that we wanted to try but we narrowed it down to just two. The Tarte Praline Chocolat (€8.70) had a good mix of praline chocolate and chocolate ganache and had a nice crunch when bitten into.

Once you step into Angelina, you must try their signature pastry, Le Mont-Blanc (€8.80), other than their famous hot chocolate drink of course. For the benefit of those who don’t know what a mont blanc pastry is, it is made up of meringue, chantilly whipped cream and chestnut cream.

A pair of happy chewys! 😛

Our next stop was Sainte Chapelle, where we had to pay €17 for the both of us to get in. The most famous features of the chapel are the beautiful stained glass windows.

Skipped to Notre Dame Cathedral. Surprisingly, admission is free and not surprisingly, the queue was insanely long.

Decided to call it a day and wanted to head back to our hotel but there was an anti-gay demonstration going on and many roads and metro stations were closed! We had to alight a few stations away and walked a long way back 🙁 It was kinda scary because the available routes got lesser and we almost thought we wouldn’t be able to reach our hotel by nightfall.

We eventually did of course, and tabao-ed dinner nearby. Guess what our next post is about? Disneyland Paris! Must read! Stay tuned ok! I’m gonna have a blast this weekend! Jay Chou concert and staycation! Whoohoo! Stay connected with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 😀
