Saturday May 1st - Labour Day

May 1st was a relaxed day for us. Much of Paris was closed due to Labour Day. The only attraction open is the Eiffel Tower and the area was crowded. We spent time playing with Davey at the Champ du Mars.

Although we had received some of the warnings regarding May 1st (marches, protests, police action) we didn't see anything near the apartment or Champ du Mars. We did notice a lot of police patrolling the Eiffel Tower/ Champ du Mars area.

We ate in and I did my first cooking in the apartment. The European appliances are challenging (it took me 10 minutes to get the electric burner going to boil water for the pasta). Everything went well and we enjoyed a dinner of chicken Provence with egg noodles.
