Paris Day 2

October 12, 2019 Amanda Luiso

Perfect weather for walking around again. We visited Sainte Chapelle, walked as close as we could to Notre Dame and then went to the Musee d’Orsay. This was my favorite museum last time I was in Paris and it is still one of my favorites. It is devoted to Impressionist artist and is in a former train station built, of course, for a World’s Fair.

Sainte Chapelle, the royal chapel connected to the old royal palace, scenes of judgement day

The narrowest building in Paris, currently not allowed to be occupied as it is deemed unlivable
