London, St-Pancras Train Station
I love Christmas, every where is so Christmassy



The staff at the Train station was very efficient, we arrived early and didn't wait long to get through all the processes. Cant rem did the luggage went through scanning, but still have to arrive at least 1 hour before department time. Inside the waiting area, there were eateries, grab N go.  


We paid for 2nd class seat and was really good! Very clean and fast. The toilet is superb - 5 stars.












Arrive Paris!!!!


Paris Station
It was quite chaotic when we are out at the street waiting for our Uber.  We had to lug our luggage quite a distant to the main road and we are quite scare too.  


Check in Hotel : Citadines Opera Paris

                                                    Metro: Richelieu - Drouot Station






The service apartment is good,  staff were friendly. The room has heater in bathroom where we can dry the towel. There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer operated via mobile app. Only downside is during winter they turned off the aircon in the room, expect you to open the window instead.
Location was good, 30mins to Montmartre





Another part I like about the apt is it has a main gate which increase the security of the place.

Very Beautiful View, the restaurant is next to Louis Vuitton Building - The Cafe.

Not Cheap but for experience is worth to visit. Food is good too!
 

Montmartre
Took a cab to hill top and walk down as we rush before sun set to take photos. During Winter, sky start to turn dark around 4pm :S



















Dinner @ Pink Mama

There were 3 storey with different decor. Though we made reservation, everyone started queuing before the restaurant opens at 7pm. When they open, all staff will stand along the stairs and greet the customer!  










I love the pasta and the restaurant seem very popular with their cocktail, too bad we didnt order as the weather was really cold.
