Paris - Day 9

08-31: Today after some housekeeping at the apartment, we took our last stroll to Rue Cler we decided to have the hamburger at Roussillon. The one I had the other day was so good, we were not disappointed. Rue Cler is pretty quiet on Sunday and Monday but we still enjoyed it. We had a brief rain shower while eating lunch then we walked down to the famous historic candy and chocolate shop, Å la Mére de Famille, located at 35 rue Cler. Founded originally in 1761, it is known as the oldest sweet shop in Paris, bringing its traditional old-time charm and classic packaging to the Rue Cler neighborhood. It is a lovely shop! From there we walked, as planned, back to Café du Marche for dessert. We shared a Crème Brûlée and enjoyed a glass of Prosecco as a special treat on our last full day in Paris.

All of that was delightful but the reality of packing up and heading out tomorrow morning looms in our future! We played a few games of cards, packed, took a 30-minute nap, ate our leftovers for dinner and called it a night.
