How about strikes...
or Versailles...
or a visit to Marie Antoinette's peasant houses that she had built so she would feel at one with the people?
How about her cows...
and sheep?
Or how about the Eiffel Tower?
If you look carefully you can see the Arc de Triomphe through the screen when you are at the top.
Of course at the top the wind might be cold and steady and blow you around.
It's a lot warmer down on the ground near the Arc de Triomphe.
Back at the hotel you can take a look out the windows...
and settle down for a rest.
On Sunday you can head down the stairs...
to church.
Afterwards as you walk around, you can take note of the mixture of building styles.
Even the door knobs are interesting.
Here's the statue that we found when we headed down an alley called "clock street." Can you figure out how the artist thought this represented time?
You can walk along the Seine...
to Notre Dame to see if you can find Quasimodo.
When we were there, the gargoyles hadn't seen him lately.
We couldn't see him in the tower...
or anywhere on the side or the back.
Even Charlemagne ...
and Joan of Arc said they hadn't seen him lately.
So we left and went up the hill to Monte Martre and the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
As an end to the sabbath we were reminded of Christ's last supper...
his crucifixion...
and resurrection.
