Today was the highlight of my trip when we went to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the two windmills cafe from the movie @[21940678400:Amélie].

It was amazing inside and just like the movie. They even had all the polaroids of Amélie’s Dad’s gnome around the world.

Of course I ordered myself the famous Amélie Poulain @[52500030448:crème brûlée] and a hazelnut hot frappe. I think it may well have been the most perfect crème brûlée I've had. Mission accomplished.

There were lots of other tourists taking photos in the cafe too. We sat for a long time and read.

We then walked down the streets of Montmartre in to the center of Paris. We passed the Moulin Rouge on the way.

We did a bit of window shopping in Galeries Lafayette which was all lit up for Christmas. There was an amazing habdsashery section and I took lots of photos for inspiration. I also got Tom a @[40444963499:Hello Kitty] candy camera and Mum got him some stuff too, which they wrapped beautifully.

We swooned over the @[203975576014:Vivienne Westwood]. They had my heart ring in bright pink and I really want the horns.

We then walked down to the Louvre which looked pretty all lit up.

We made our way down to the embankment and I bought my Nana one of the light up Eiffel Towers. I also got Tom some more presents and received the 11th compliment on my @[24652532928:Vivienne Westwood] bag.

We walked to a bridge where we had a good view of the @[14067072198:Eiffel Tower's] and waited for the top of the hour, so that we could oooh and aww at the sparkling light show.
