20,000 step day in Paris

It was a 20,000 step day today and a 2 post day with all the amazing things we saw. Our first stop was the beautiful Saint-Chapelle church in the heart of Paris. It was the seat of royal power for a few centuries and is now housed with the Palace of Justice. Built between 1242-1248 to house the relics of the Passion of Christ, specifically the Crown of Thorns (which to our disappointment is in Notre Dame currently so we did not see it). We went back to the square in front of Notre Dame because on the ground somewhere is marked the center point of Paris… love GPS which took us right to it. Then we were on the metro off to the Montmarte district with several landmarks on our list. The MontMarte cemetery, Moulin Rouge, Montmarte Basillica Sacre’-Coeur, and a few other destinations like food and shopping. Too many photos to put in this post because of course everything was photo-worthy. These are photos of the two beautiful churches.Læs mere
