Paris Vacation Day 3-5 – All Around Paris

by Jenny on October 18, 2009

After the first two days, we were pretty walked out. But there are still so much to see….

Sacre Coeur – build as an act of penitence for the sins committed during the civil war, as well as for the Franco-Prussian war which followed. Prominent businessmen put up the money and architects worked together to build the Sacre Coeur. They don’t allow camera inside the church, probably the only place in Paris that don’t allow camera inside. You’ll get yelled at if you try to take a picture.

Sacre Coeur is next to Moutmartre, the art district of paris.  You don’t see any painting or art of any sort because the artists are all very aware of cameras and don’t allow any photos towards their direction.

Nothing like a little french sidewalk cafe !  Pink chairs, I like.

Alright, this is completely random, but I’ve never seen this Fedex Urban cab in the states…. I think it’s a bicycle with an actual chair?

The gargoyles of Notre Dame. Gargoyles are said to ward off evil spirits from the church. Everyone wants to see the Gargoyles, the line to get up to the top of Notre Dame was super long.
