Anniversary Vacation (March 22, 2016)

We arrived in Paris a 11:15 a few minutes late. We walked to the apartment via the place of the Bastille. We arrived at the apartment a little early, so we saw the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The Cathedral is open while mass is taking place, so if you go to mass there you are part of the tourist attraction. It was completed in 1345. We returned to the apartment at 23 Quai d' Anjou, île de St. Louis to see what we needed to buy for food, and made a shopping list. On the way to the store we went Sainte-Chapelle, which had the most beautiful stained glass. We walked across Ponte Nuef, the oldest bridge in Paris, then on to the Marais, one of the most medieval areas in Paris. We walk by a 15th century Archbishops house, and King Henry II's Wall which is a two block long piece of the 13th century wall that protected Paris.
