After leaving the Opera Garnier we walked over to the Galleries Lafayette on Boulevard Haussmann for a little while, then we returned to the Saint Germain des Pres area (where our apartment is located) for a little more shopping. After our afternoon of shopping we went to the Latin Quarter where Marc Gallice's store is located. Marc imports beautiful rugs called kilims (which he also designs and has made), and some furniture, from Turkey and the Middle East. We purchased two small kilims and picked out a beautiful painted box and hat, which Marc very generously refused to allow us to pay for. He also gave us two boxes of delicious Turkish delights candies. Marc made us delicious Turkish tea at the store, and then after closing the store for the evening he took us to the Paris mosque for some of the most delicious tea we've ever had! Then we drove with him to his home where Dominique had prepared a delicious dinner of spinach lasagne, and tarte tatin for dessert.
