DAY 3 - PARIS


Today's highlights :

Local Sunday markets at Boulevard Grenelle

 
Lunch in a cafe in the Marais district
 
The amazing church of Saint Chapelle, built to house the 'Crown of Thorns' relic.
 
Wall to wall stained glass windows of Saint Chapelle.
 
Booksellers lining the Seine
Bus tour featuring the Arch de Triomphe and the busy Avenue des Champs Elysees

I love Paris because there is a 24 hour jazz radio station.
Impressionist paintings at the Musee d'Orsay

 
Musee d'Orsay was originally a railway station but now it is a fabulously decorated gallery, featuring French 19th and 20th century art.
