Day 6 in Europe (Paris)

Slept in today, which was nice. I'd been waking up early every day to see sights and whatnot. Wanted a nice breakfast in bed but the boulangerie outside the hotel wasn't open on weekends. At least Secret Story was showing on TV! I love that show now hehe.

Headed to Saint-Lazare as I was told it was a nice shopping area. Didn't expecting much and the visit was marred by the fact that I needed to puss badly and somehow couldn't find a toilet even in the department stores. 

Anyway the point of this is to remark on how sometimes bad luck can turn into good, as, I subsequently managed to stumble onto both the Église de la Madeleine and the toilets just outside of it. (No joke, they are a piece of Art Nouveau art in themselves!)

Finally decided to visit la Défense, sits outside of the Ile de Paris but isn't quite suburbia. This powerhouse of economic development is where Paris' skyscrapers have been relegated so as not to damage the legendary skyline of the city centre.
