What a good idea it seemed, after the usual Saturday morning food shopping and lunch, to go into the centre of Paris to do some shopping! Madness. How could we have overlooked the fact that the Rue du Rivoli is like Oxford Street? We started with a visit to WHSmith and were surprised to find it well stocked with a wide range of books, much better than you'd find on a high street in the UK. I bought a French verb book to get a grip of conjugation and a verb practice book, with exercises. We were amused to find a food section in WHSmith selling all the things that ex-pats apparently can't do without....like Heinz sandwich spread! Then we struggled along to BHV like salmon at spawning time and bought a birthday present for Simon and checked out the shopping trolleys - as you do!
Next time I'll leave shopping to a weekday...
