Cars, cars, cars...

After a morning wander around the area near our hotel including the Galeries Lafayette precinct (and it was interesting to note the prominent Gap store across the road from Galeries Lafayette has disappeared - victim of the GFC perhaps?) we headed to the Avenue des Champs-Elysees for company visits to the Citroen, Renault and Peugeot concept stores.  These were all quite different with Citroen probably standing out the most, due to the building itself, which is much more modern than most, if not all, of the other buildings along the Avenue and also apparently the only one to allow the public to view the Arc de Triomphe from the top floor.  The Citroen concept store is currently dedicated to the upcoming launch of the all-new DS3 model, and there were some very clever ideas such as the webcam game and also the photo booth where you could email a picture of yourself superimposed in a DS3 with your choice of options. 
Renault's concept store is currently set up as a museum celebrating the success of Renault's light commercial vehicles, while Peugeot's was the smallest of the three and only had four actual vehicles in it, however six(!) shelves of the retail area were given over to Renault salt & pepper shakers!!
We returned to the hotel for a quick rest then headed up the hill to Montmatre and Sacre Coeur, the view from which was stunning as always, and the inside of the basilica is also absolutely beautiful.  We then had dinner and sampled some of the local wines at Les Coulisses, which was a little bit touristy but still nice.
