Il de cite and 6 flights of stairs

Its a beautiful morning in London and we are sitting in the train bound for Paris, I am still carrying my cakes (I think I'm far more interested in looking at them than eating them) but they will soon have to make way for a visit to Laduree for macarons! We have only 1 large (very large) suitcase that we will have to drag up the 6 flights of stairs to the apartment ! We are working on a strategy , one that involves a David jones carry bag and several marks & spencer bags - watch this space for an update on our progress! The upside is that the promised view of notre dame from our window should be ample reward for the physical endurance !
