We already knew Paul bakery existed and was good because we had seen one two years ago in Charles de Gaulle airport during a layover. Being peak lunch time, Paul was doing a great business. In an effort to be speedy as we knew there was more on our to-do list, we ordered three pre-made waffles that were put into a warmer at 250 degrees Celsius. Then we could request chocolate syrup or powdered sugar as a topping.
Gigi and Larry met us after breakfast in time to take the metro to be at the Eiffel Tower when it opened. However, nature must not have gotten the message we were coming because the Eiffel was mostly covered in clouds for the day. We agreed to climb the tower anyway and to get a look at the city from the second floor.
