Today was shopping day. In the afternoon we went to the boulevard Haussman where many of the large department stores are located. We decided to go to Le Printemps to get some gifts. Alexandria wanted some scarves for her five grandchildren and we found a large selection. She settled on four of them and Erwin got one for himself also. We then went up to the children's department, two whole floors. There we got another scarf for Luke, grandson # 5. Erwin remembered about the detaxe so we had that processed. We will get 12% back. After we went to one of the other buildings (The store has three separate buildings, one next to the other). There we went to the brasserie of Le Prentemps for a drink. The brasserie is in a magnificent room with a beautiful domed roof that goes back to before the World War II.

When we had finished, we left the store. It was already getting dark and all the Christmas light were already on display.

We took the bus home and had a light supper in.
