We then ventured into Hediard (still technically within the hotel) and it's like going into a chocolate box and then the most up market deli you've ever dreamed of, with the very finest of gourmet food. From simple things to the most perfect strawberries you have ever seen to a temperature controlled wine room with a silver chest of champagne, to an incredible choice of cavier, foie gras and delicacies we just can't get at home. The nice thing was, the staff were so nice to us; they just loved that we came from Australia (our accent must sound weird to them) and we still haven't met one of those famously arrogant Frenchmen.
So we took our little box of chocolates back to the hotel for later enjoyment and went down to the spa. Now don't forget, we're in Paris, in the golden triangle no less, where space is a gold bullion per square inch (well, you get the picture) and this spa is just huge and indescribably impecably and immaculately beautiful and relaxing. We'll try to let the photos show the luxuriousness of this retreat under the grounds of our hotel http://www.fourseasons.com/fr/paris/ but it was a wonderfully, relaxing and indulgent experience and while we were enjoying that, the lovely little pixies that come to visit our hotel room (they even put a book mark in my book for me one night, they think of everything!) left us a bottle of champagne and lovely chocolate gataeux, the perfect match for our Hediard choccies!
Finally dinner was planned for Le Cinq and we did have high hopes for dinner that weren't quite met. However; I will say, we've been eating terribly rich food from petit dejuener to dinner as is typical for France, so perhaps we were a little fooded out as headed down for another French meal in Le Cinq.
