| It was an early morning flight 06.50 from Manchester! |
 |
| La Tour Eiffel! |
 |
Inside the private entrance there is
a display to show where the lift is.
Here you can see it is at the top where
the red light is showing.
|
 |
View up the lift shaft as
the lift starts up the tower.
|
 |
| The direction steepens! |
 |
Looking down through the iron work
to the ground below. You can see the first
floor too.
|
 |
| A peek at the views across Paris. |
 |
| Up the last bit really steep/straight up now. |
 |
| More views - wow! |
 |
| My table and settings...... |
 |
| The plate matches the ceiling! |
 |
| Miniature cutlery against a £1 coin - it was not for use! |
 |
Champagne aperitf -Alain Ducasse's
own label and very nice it was too.
|
 |
| Some cheesy sticks to nibble. |
 |
| Amuse bouche - pea puree with "marmalade" |
 |
| Tiny croutons and leaves garnish the dish. |
 |
| My starter of fois gras and crayfish- delicious.... |
 |
| from the other side! it was quite a picture! |
 |
| A fancy shaped croissant bread! |
 |
| Lovely home made bread roll with olives. |
 |
| The main course of lamb with artichoke - it was yummy! |
 |
| Dessert was the best! Mango praline tart with.... |
 |
| Mango granite...the combo was DIVINE! |
 |
To finish with my tea I was given marshmallows
- which are not a favourite of mine - they were
made with rose water which was far
too strong for my taste - I only ate one -
never again.
|
 |
Bitter Chocolate cubes on the left.
The petit fours were not to my taste either
normally, I would have eaten the lot had the
flavours been normal but these were a bit too
experimental! I just tried each one but did not
want to eat the others :-(
|
 |
The entrance to the restaurant if you go
outside on the Tower.
|
 |
| The top of the menu board. |
 |
As I left I was given some
Madeleines
they are a bit squashed from the
journey but they were nice.
|
Next time I'll post my photos from the Tower and my day in Paris!
