Paris Day 3

Pre-purchasing our tickets for the earliest book in time proved to be a winner for Saint Chapelle - and it was magnificent! The stained glass windows from the 12thC - very lucky they were not damaged in the French Revolution despite the rest of the building being so. Then a bonus in the ticket have us access to the Conciergierie which was built to house the government of the Kings of France but was turned into a prison in the 14thC but it is most famous for the imprisonment of Marie Antoinette. For after lunch we did a walking tour or Mont Marte - which started just outside the Moulin Rouge and took us up through the streets where many famous artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso plied their trade ending up at Sacre Cour. A beautiful church with 180 views over the city. As we are in Paris, perfume is a must so we signed up for a “make your own” course. It did not disappoint. All three of us made very different perfumes - to suit us ❤️ and learnt about the science of perfumery and our sense of smell. And our final spot for the day was dinner at the Buddha Bar - and eclectic restaurant in the Place de la Concorde.Read more
