Au revoir Paris

Today was our last day in Paris. It was another warm and beautiful day here so we started out for another long walk. Our first sight was Notre Dame. This church is absolutely beautiful and is filled with large stained glass windows and tall stone columns. Notre Dame is another place that pictures cannot do it justice, and we hope you enjoy them.
We then went over to see the Pantheon. Wholly cow! This is a gigantic structure with large columns with detailed ceilings and walls. We thought the most interesting and bizarre thing about the Pantheon was the crypt, which you can tour, underneath the building. There are hallways of rooms that you can look into and see stone boxes that are filled with the deceased. It was really eerie.
Afterwards we went to the Rodin Museum. Rodin is the sculptor who created The Thinker. When you see the pictures below you will know what we are talking about. This museum also has a beautiful garden that has over 200 rose bushes, but unfortunately, for us, it was too early for them to be blooming.
We wanted to end our Paris trip by eating at a French café. So after walking around we found this little café that seemed to be the perfect spot. And so, for the first time, I had escargot. It was actually pretty good. We didn’t do much after that because we wanted to go back to the room so we could pack for our next stop…….Switzerland.
We are sad to leave Paris because we think it is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to!
