June 6 in Paris


An example of breakfast:


















Paris Walks -- Notre Dame with Chloe

The Notre Dame Cathedral used to be a temple to Juno
I think this is the Hall of Justice




















The spire (see picture) was added in the 18th century by a man named La Duke who really captured (some say invented) the Gothic style. Though he took many liberties.


Chloe really getting into it

























Oldest working clock in Paris


















Oldest Public clock in Paris dating back to 1894(?)
It was very noisy as we were on big public streets, Chloe had an incredible vocabulary throwing in words like "vertiginous" and "insalubrious" "palaver."
There are 36 bridges that cross the Seine in Paris
Picture of Man on the horse -- Henry IV town planner, made a lot of public places - Green and Gallant one
#36 where Maigret works
Notre Dame -- Key stone laid in 1150(?)



















We walked over to the Latin Quarter to eat lunch. Dad and Brian had been wanting sausages and they got... something orange? We also got some really awesome desserts including a locally made sorbet.
