    Continuing on to the Pantheon, I went up to the roof of the Dome for more views over Paris. Inside, there was an exhibition about the history of the Paralympics, and in the crypt, there were tombs of many famous French men and women such as Marie Curie, Voltaire, Dumas, Rousseau, Hugo and Zola.
    I visited the church of St Etienne-du-Mont which was next to the Pantheon.
    I had a good dinner of onion soup, beef bourginon, and fruit salad at a restaurant in the Rue Saint-Jacques before the concert at St Julian le Pouvre of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and others. The church has been used by an Arabic-speaking Greek Catholic sect, the Melchites, for the last century.
