We walked past the Hotel de Ville and Notre Dame to the garden of the St-Julien-le-Pauvre, where we took pictures of Notre Dame. From there we went to the National Museum of the Middle Ages/de Cluny. The tapestries of the Lady and the Unicorn were the highlight of that place. After that, we walked past the Sorbonne (sadly closed during the summer) and went to The Pantheon. Three highlights in there: Foucault's Pendulum, the crypt (Marie Curie, Russeau, Voltaire, and Victor Hugo among others lie here) and the views from the dome.
After lunch, we went to the Luxemburg Gardens, where we stayed for a while. We walked back crossing St-Germain to the Point Neuf bridge and went back to the hotel to rest. Later, we went north of the hotel to the Marais neighborhood, and had schwarma and fallafel gyros for dinner (from L'as du Fallafel), walked around and got into a bar for happy hour (which was actually like three hours), listening to Depeche Mode.
Camino al jardin de la iglesia San-Julien-le Pauvre pasamos por el edificio del Hotel de Ville y Notre Dame. Despues fuimos al Museo Nacional de la Edad Media/Cluny, donde hay unos tapetes bordados con la Dama y el Unicornio. De ahi pasamos por la Universidad de la Sorbona, la cual esta cerrada en el verano, y finalmente llegamos al edificio del Panteon. Ahi vimos el pendulo de Foucault, las criptas (Russeau, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, y Marie Curie entre otros estan enterrados ahi), y subimos a la cupula, desde donde se ve la ciudad.
Despues de lonchar fuimos a los Jardines de Luxemburgo, donde pasamos un rato. De regreso al hotel cruzamos el barrio de San German y fuimos al puente del Pont Neuf. Luego de un descanso en el cuarto, fuimos al barrio del Marais, al norte del hotel. Comimos unos sandwiches de falafel (estilo arabe); luego caminamos por ahi y nos metimos a un bar donde tomamos margaritas y oimos musica de Depeche Mode.
