Arabella-not the song, not the dog but the opera

 Metro to Opera Garnier, then fascinating tour of lavish opera house(thanks Barrie). Walk to Fauchon grocery store to stock up on chockies, then up the Champs getting ready for the Tour. Metro to Eiffel, then back to digs. We get dressed up and go to Opera Bastille to see Arabella(Richard Strauss) starring  the famous coughing soprano Renee Phlegming.WONDERFUL
