Here's the Poilane boulangerie just across from the apartment.
This was our first time through the Cite stop... it was really pretty. We popped up just outside the Palais de Justice.
We made it through the line and here we are just outside Saint Chapelle.
The bottom floor is gorgeous... and this was where the palace staff worshiped. The king worshiped upstairs. The magnificent stained glass of La Sainte Chapelle. The windows tell the story of the books of the bible. This is one of the largest displays of stained glass in it's original location in the world.
Originally Saint Chapelle was built to house some relics, the most notable was the crown of thorn put on Jesus when we was crucified. Now I believe the relics are in the treasury at Notre Dame.
We hopped back on the Metro and went to pick up Madison's glasses. She still liked them and they seemed to work good, so they were adjusted and we were off to the Luxembourg Gardens.
Here are Cindy and the girls at the Medici Fountain... Madison sporting her new glasses.
And me and the girls in front of the main garden and pools outside the senate building.
A quick lunch and everyone just crashed. We had to wake Bailley up to go get some dinner. So I guess it's time to just read and rest on the last night in Paris. Tomorrow it's back to Laduree for a proper Parisian sendoff and to the train station to go through the chunnel to London.
Bonne nuit!
