That night we went to Sacré Coeur. The most beautiful church in Paris.
However before hand I needed something to eat so we stopped off at McDo's. However before hand I needed something to eat so we stopped off at McDo's. The sauce that they give out for the fries is really interesting. It's a little like tartar sauce but a little more spicy.
After Versailles we got lost again on our way to Sacré Coeur. I was a tad bit apprehensive about going to Sacré Coeur at night due to its proximity with the Red Light district. But nothing out of the ordinary occurred. After visiting the inside where pictures are forbidden, we wandered out to see the city from the perch on the top of the stairs that lead up to the church.
Then we wandered some more and found a place to have diner. The waitress was nice and gave us some olives while we waited for our food.
We had Moulles Frites, muscles with fries. I don't know why it is a delicacy but it is. And it was delicious. The muscles were easy to get out and marinated in a onion basil oil like sauce that was delicious.I would have drank the sauce as a soup if it wouldn't have looked so weird.
The french fries were really good too. France usually makes diner fries and not the small measly fries that we have in the U.S. These were soft and warm on the inside with the right amount of crisp on the outside. They also soaked up the sauce of the muscles really well and they complemented each other perfectly.
Then for desert we had this chocolate delight. It was a chocolate cake that wasn't completely cooked through, so it was sot and gooey in the center. The créme anglais next to it was a great, a soft vanilla flavor that accented the rich chocolate of the cake. The light dusting on the cake was powdered sugar and chocolate powder giving it just the right amount of artistic appeal.
As far as that day went I was pleased with our adventure and our food choices.
