France Day 4 - Countrymen and le Cygne

We tried to find a hotel by driving around the spots marked on the map but failed, so we parked on a tiny street and set out on foot. We finally found one called Le Cygne, and when we walked into the reception, we saw a Chinese lady! We were able to speak Mandarin to her, and she showed us into a beautiful room on the second floor. We had to haul our stuff up a winding staircase since there was no elevator in the old apartment. The room was decorated with pretty pastel colours, a large mirror, a high ceiling with a chandelier, and two huge windows that open up all the way to let in fresh air from the street below.

This is the tiny entrance to the garage
of the hotel, only a few inches wider
than our car O_O

 




Creeping on the man with baguettes xD

Giant chocolate macaroon, mmm...
 After we settled in, we went for a walk by the river and had dinner.


 


Strange carrot soup-like substance
served before the meal in a tiny bowl

Smoked salmon and, for whatever
reason, a slab of butter

Terrine of some sort, and pear slices.
There are pears everywhere in France.

I forget what this is called but it's a
pastry sort of thing.

Fish, obviously. It wasn't very good.

Lamb.

Duck breast and more pear slices.

Yay sorbet! <3
