Paris - Day 23

Our last day in Paris was spent exploring the streets and seeing two large churches.   We first went into Saint Chapelle, a large chapel surrounded by stained glass windows.   The interior was stunningly beautiful.  The walls were literally made completely of stained glass, filling the room with vivid colors.

We then went across the street to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral to explore.  Built 850 years ago it is well known for its gargoyles and bell towers.   We were able to walk through the inside, but didn't have enough time to climb to the top.     

We then enjoyed some time shopping at a local outdoor market before having lunch at a cafe.  Paris is famous for its numerous cafes and open air restaurants so we decided to spend our last hours in Paris in a cafe just sitting and people watching.  

Finally we boarded the chunnel back to London, our last stop before coming home.
