Paris: Day seven

Petite-dejeuner: Here is a picture of the basket of pastries that await us each each morning in addition to the coffee, juice, yogurt, and cheese.




Metro: We treated ourselves to a subway ride to start our morning. Several days of constant walking has been taking it's toll.

Marche: We went to an open air market to see the local food being sold.























St. Sulpice church: You may recognize this as one of the film locations from The Da Vinci Code (the church with the "rose line").























Jardin du Luxembourg: Area surrounding the French Senate building. Lots of flowers, joggers, people playing games, and children. There is a pond where children can rent a toy boat that comes with a bamboo stick. The children push there boats out into the water and, based on wind and fountain currents, the boat eventually makes its way back to the side to be pushed out again. Great fun for kids and it burns energy while they run circles around the fountain.






































Pantheon: Under construction until next week. Not allowed to go in. Boo.



Saint Etienne: Just happened to stumble across this beautiful church. Blaise Pascal is buried inside.









Paris Catacombs: Open till 5pm. Got in line at 4pm. At 4:10pm they announced to the people still in line that there were closing. Not open tomorrow so we will not be able to go before we leave. Boo.

Sorbonne: University of Paris started in the 1200s.
