Sainte-Chapelle and Ile Saint Louis

I went to St Chappelle on the Ile de la Cite to see the fiftenn beautiful stained glass windows telling the story of the Bible from Genesis to the Apocolypse of St John plus the story of the purchase by Louis IX from Byzantium of the Holy Relics, especially the Crown of Thorns which was kept at Notre Dame.
I walked along the Ile de la Cite past the Notre Dame to the Ile Saint-Louis where I went into the Memorial des Martyrs de la Deportation. Many schools and other buildings in Paris had plaques mentioning the deportation of Jewish children and adults in the months and years before the Liberation of Paris in 1944.
The Ile Saint-Louis also had 17th century mansions, the Eglise St Louis en l'Ile, and Berthilion, a famous restaurant where I stopped for an ice-cream.
Back at the hotel, I watched a webinar about the Stade de France.Baca lagi
