My mom recommended this restaurant called "Chartier." While the rest of our group was at Disneyland, Chelsea and I decided to go on our own adventure. Chartier is located off Grande Boulevard and it was pretty easy to find. We took metro line 1 to metro 8 and got off on Grande Boulevard, then we walked a few blocks and it was to the right down a small road. We got there at around 6:30 pm, which is really early for dinner here. Normally restaurants don't even open until 7 pm. Luckily, Chartier was open and the host greeted us and led us down a path to get inside, then another host greeted us at the door and directed us to an area to sit. We sat near the back and not many people were there yet.
I was impressed with the size of the restaurant because from the outside it seems like it would be quite small. Chelsea and I were getting pretty comfortable at our table for 4. After about 20 minutes, more and more people began coming in to eat. A few minutes later, our server sat 2 guys down at our table! Chelsea and I were caught off guard and had no idea what was going on! No thing was certain, we had ordered wine just in time for this awkward situation! The 2 men turned out to be really nice. One was 20 and the other 22. They spoke english really well and we were able to have a good conversation with them. One of the guys is actually training for the French Military. The guys invited us to a coffee place after dinner. We got on the metro and went to Saint Michael, which is near Notre Dame. We had coffee right next to one of the prestigious universities for literature. The French architecture is beautiful, I will definately miss it when I go back to Greeley!
