Le Zyriab by Noura
this appears to have a rooftop/patio overlooking the river. cant tell if it is solely formal dining. i would think you can drink on patio and not eat a meal. i dont care if you go to any of these places or not. i am enjoying the search. hope you are having fun.

Day 9:
Last full day -- we leave early in the AM to head back.
Woke up this AM and headed straight for the Lourve. I did spot the upside down point of the pyramid, where the Holy Grail is...thanks, Tom Hanks!
Anywhoo...a lot of cool stuff here... Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace. You could spend hours here - we stayed for awhile, then headed to...
Musée d'Orsay. Again, you could really kill some time here, but we focused on the Impressionists - Money, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, Manet, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, etc...they're all here. Wonderful collection of paintings that look amazing one foot from your face.
After that, we headed back to start getting ready for dinner at L'Atelier. This was fantastic. The menu is in French, but the staff is more than accommodating and willing to explain in English. Started with a Johnnie Walker Black...was gifted an amuse bouche of a fois gras mousse, which was great. We got three starters - the octopus, bone marrow, and the little burgers - all were fantastic - changed to a Pinot Noir for the meal - and then had a nice size ribeye with their mashed potatoes (which are phenomenal). The wife had the spaghetti - she enjoyed it. And we shared the dessert - lime concoction with ice cream and meringue - it was good. All totaled, dinner was about $415.00. It was worth it.
Well, it's basically come to an end. We have a wake-up call for about 4:30, then off to the airport to head back home. I'll post pics and shite once I get back. Thanks for following along.

Would love to hear your final thoughts on both cities when you’ve digested it all.

Will do! We actually talked about this over dinner. Paris is the leader in the clubhouse...

That’s how I feel. I like London.
I LOVE Paris.

Good read, Rummy. Between this thread and Acorn's pics I feel like I was on the trip.

Great pics and recaps. I always like seeing pics from the OT ballers on here.
Just wish i had that kind of cash to spend on a trip like that.
