Ooh La La! It's Paris (vol. 3)




South Rose Window

Next up on the tour was the Notre Dame Cathedral. The stained glass windows and architecture were amazing. So hard to believe the craftsmanship that went on with handheld tools.


I made a wish on the Pointe Zero, which is basically a medallion in the middle of Paris for which all distances are measured for signs.

We ended our day with some time alone at the Paris Opera House or Palais Garnier.


The kids were cold so we did a bit of window shopping in an out of a few stores. We turned a corner and they amazingly became hungry upon seeing McDonald's. They both delighted in having a familiar Happy Meal. They taste the same, but the box is all in French. And being Pulp Fiction fans, Chris and I had to know if the Quarter Pounder was known by another name. We can happily report that there is a Royal with Cheese.
