Paris Walk #13

Marchez le nez au vent: Sights and Smells around the Madeleine

I set out today on a mission to get at least two more walks done. I am SO close to being finished! I met up with Kaitlin, Carine, and Olivia for this walk. It started at the Madeleine church and it was so cool. It is nothing like the other churches I've seen, except for maybe Saint Sulpice. It looks a little like that, but still different. It isn't Gothic which I loved. I love Gothic, but after seeing about a million cathedrals and churches that look like that it is a nice change of pace to see something else. The next part of our walk led us right by Laduree, in my opinion the fanciest dessert place/cafe in Paris. I bought two macarons (Rose and Salted Caramel flavored) and we continued. After that, we went to the Fragonard parfumerie. We didn't get a tour of the place, but we did stay and test lots of perfumes. Testing perfumes is actually one of my favorite activities. It was a little awkward though because we were the only ones in there with about the same number of employees as us. We were just tip-toe-ing around and whispering and it was kind of funny. I tried two different perfumes on myself which is what Bro. Olivier suggested, and after wearing them all day, I think I like the combination of the two the best! It was a very nice smelling walk for sure.
