After 4 hall hours we went to eat lunch.

Today we ate "hachis parmentier".

We went to a shop called " Le Grande Epicerie de Paris."

We checked if we want anything so we buyed some cakes.

Later we went to "Cruise On The Seine."

We find the best way to visit the "City of Light" enjoying a cruise on the Seine, especially at night. When the sun sets, the monuments are lit slowly. You get a panoramic view to the forefront so you can enjoy the beauty of Paris: Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Pont Alexandre III and many more.

You can also enjoy a dinner cruise on the Seine aboard a boat. For about two hours, you are welcomed.

My mum and dad called me when i was eating dinner in the boat.My mum and dad were so jealous of and my brother.
