The final night we went on tour of Paris VIA boat. We went under some famous bridges, such as Pont Neuf
One of the oldest bridges in Paris:Pont Neuf. I really liked seeing all the young people and couples hang out along the Seine River.
My favorite Eiffel Tower picture
At the carousel across the street from Eiffel Tower. Reminded me of my childhood when I had my bedroom decked out like a carousel
Riding on the metro:public transportation for geniuses(bc you must be a genius to figure this system out!)

My favorite shot
Cluny Museum-most famous Middle Ages museum
La Dame & L'Unicorne-The lady and the unicorn.These 6 tapestries represent the 5 senses. One tapestry has a deeper, overall message of avoiding materialism.
This is the best shot because my camera's flash went off by accident!
Sacre Coeur(Sacred Heart) in Montmartre
Our group listening to Jessica B.'s presentation on Sacre Coeur-she and Nicole chose two sites to make presentations on as part of their class project

A stroll through Montmartre-this neighborhood is famous for artists and musicians, such as Edith Piaf who got her start singing in these very streets
Imagine a street filled with portrait artists
Totally beats Baskin Robbins

Outside Saint Chappelle
Every story in the Bible is depicted here in stained glass
Saint Chappelle originally housed the relics from the Passion(such as the crown of thorns).These relics are now housed in Notre Dame cathedral

Paris @ Point zero: good luck if you throw change down and walk across
During the French Revolution, Notre Dame housed saltpeter. When the Revolution ended Notre Dame was in grave condition and in danger of being condemned.Victor Hugo saved the cathedral by writing The Hunchback of Notre Dame in order to spark public interest. The book was a success and Notre Dame was saved and renovated.
Joan of Arc
Angel Michael
In what looks to be a red box, is the crown of thorns
