Riverside

By the river
The riverside
this is one of the oldest bridges in paris, see how the floor is wooden, yeah, it is really old.
Model of the year..lols
cute graffiti, this little smiley face is on every single lamp on this bridge
This little island holds the most expensice houses in paris, coincidentally it is also the dirtiest place in paris

Cycling home on our 1 euro a day bicycles


After you are done..just look for another station, which is pretty easy since they are everywhere and slot it back into an open slot.

Inside Louis Vuitton

This is the wall on your right when you go up the escalator to the 2nd floor


A little further up you will see this pattern on the same wall

I'm sure this is not the most expensive item in the store but this little baby here costs 10,000 euros..

This decor here is actually made of a room in a half dome shape, the flat side is a fully mirrored wall which goes all the way to the ceiling from which hands all this dangling crystals, The mirrored wall reflects it so that it looks like one full circle.

This is the staircase from the 3rd floor back down to the first floor

Montmartre on French National Day

On the French National Day, we were supposed to go down to Monmartre to see the fireworks but suffice to say, we went there too late, the place was too crowded and we only got to see 2 little blooms far far away. You see those little things outlined in shadow against the beautiful white church? Yes those are people..

Yes and we also got semi-cheated when we were standing around on the foot of the hill wondering what to do next. We paid 10 euros for 4 of these bands..suckers

Champagne

Here we are today at Moët et Chandon! We are taking the imperial tour and are entitled to one glass of Brut Imperial. Woo hoo, we took a 2 hour drive here, had lunch @ Maccers then went in ahead for our cave tour.. the caves are huge! For the price of 11€, you get the tour? and a glass of champagne, and to think we were almost cheated of 93€.. (-_-);

So here we go into the caves after a short introduction video! Basically, they just led us through the champagne making process of Moët et Chandon..It tqkes about 6 years or so, to produce one batch! The maturing stage is the longest at about 3 years.. I'm that bottle also i xian ji pua 3 yrs stay one place
This is one long corridor and the caves are full of them at the end of this corridor is a big barrel that Napoleon gave to Jean-Remy Moët. The story is the barrel never belonged to Napolean and never contained any Champagne. It was a barrel full of port that was on its way to The King of Bulgaria (i think that's what she said). Napoleon being Napoleon stole it, drank all the port, didn't know what to do with it and gave the empty barrel to his good friend.. what an asshole, lols

Can you guess how many bottles there are here in this one arch alone, .... ok you can stop counting, there are more behind, it stretches back 8 feet deep and there are 21000 bottles here; according to the last line on the little board you see there..

This is the 2nd fermentation process where this time they ferment still wines into champagne itself; it is fermented with the cap sealed so that the carbon dioxide does not escape. and this is how you get Champagne!

Walking along in the caves... hoping to drink our champagne soon!


We are just outside the room to drink Champagne!!!



Bottoms up! Delicious!!!


Can i bring you home, little baby bottle. lol! its huge!


See... luen drink a little bit only whole face red... hahaha me no have..gua gua gua (-_-);
