The South Bank and Ile de Cite

I took the Metro to Cluny-Sorbonne for the short walk to the Musee National du Moyen Age which incorporates the remains of Roman baths plus rooms of the former Cluny Hotel. The Musee had Roman artefacts at the beginning followed by mainly religious art and artefacts, and finally some beautiful tapestries. I had a snack lunch at the cafe in the courtyard.
In the afternoon, I went to the church of St Severin to check if there were any recitals, which there weren't, and then to St Julien le Pauvre.
There was a queue outside Shakespeare & Company, the famous bookshop, so I didn't go inside.
I walked across a bridge to the Ile de Cite and took a photo of the facade of the Notre Dame from a viewing platform which had been erected for that purpose. Nearby was the Crypte Archeologique which housed the Roman ruins of a port and the Baths of Lutetia. These had been uncovered during excavations for a car-park.Read more
