Paris / Day 2 Pt 2

I'm reminded by visions of famous chase scenes in Ronin and Bourne as we cross over the river and to the island. 

Diplo would be proud, might even like it more that it's the misspelled.

Some great smelling lavender soap bars.

The protesters spirit is still alive an well here, we've seen a fair number of these banners and groups chanting while here. 

And here it is, the world famous Notre Dame! 

Fortunately, despite the high expectations I had, the church was still very impressive for me. The amount of detail and work on it is just staggering. Not the largest church, but the size is still something to behold. 

Fortunately, photography was permitted so long as I refrained from using my nonexistent flash. It's always shocking that there are still many people who persist on strobing away despite how poor it makes the images appear and how much it upsets the clergy (and police officers). 

Despite the flashes though, I was relieved that the noise level was kept to a respectful whisper. This is after all still an active church. 

Those stained glass artworks...

Every church we've been to, in service or not, there were always several tourists paying respects. 

And so concludes Notre Dame. Next up, Jardin du Luxembourg and a little of the Latin Quarter.
