We decided to stay in Montparnasse, where we found a small hotel called Hotel Acacia St. Germain which allowed (welcomed!) Chana. In Paris, dogs were allowed on the metro unlike Lyon, but as Chana got a little too excited on the moving sidewalk on the first day and left a nice souvenir, I decided that we should be outside as much as we can.
On Monday, Chana and I spent almost 6 hours staring at the Eiffel Tower, from a café, a park, underneath the tower, and another café waiting for Nathan. It was not enough tower gazing, so we went back again on Wednesday this time with Nathan, where we saw lucky Parisien dogs running off leash in the park in front of the tower. We saw a Great Dane or two from a distance. Small apartments in Paris and Great Danes do not go well together, so they must live in a mansion, they must.

During our stay, we were again in boulangerie heaven. The best one amongst I tried is Jean Noël Julien. We did not do much fancy dinings in Paris, but La Grande Epicerie Paris at Le Bon Marché provided us a nice take out meal one night. It was probably more expensive than sitting at a restaurant, but it was delicious. Nagoya, a Japanese restaurant, had a really good "Oyako Don (chicken and egg served on rice)," which was the first Japanese meal we have had so far in France.

Some dog-less visits were made to the Cathedral de Notre Dame and Le Louvre. We decided to do only one wing of the Louvre and we promised we will be back before too long.
