Robbie and Mike visited us in Paris for a fun filled weekend in which we took them to the Crazy Horse, Trocadero, on a boat trip on the Seine, to Invalides and to dinner at Bofinger.

Crazy Horse

We settled into our seats to enjoy the cabaret.

Was it something on the stage or Robbie's champagne taste that made Mike close his eyes?!

Bofinger Restaurant

Bofinger is one of our favourite restaurants in the Bastille, so it was only fitting that we took Robbie and Mike there for their last night.

We started the night with Kir Royales.

John had a vodka sorbet Robbie and Fiona eyeing up the deserts
