Our Paris Vacation - Day 5

Our Paris Vacation - Day 5

We started our last day in Paris with a visit to Notre Dame.  It's so beautiful!! 



We waited in line for a while to get inside.
 It was a Sunday and so we were able to see part of a mass in the cathedral!


There were even bleachers in front of the cathedral for all the people who wanted to 
hang out there outside!
 



There's a memorial to the Holocaust victims near by.


Then we walked across the bridge to Ile Saint-Louis.  This is what it looks like from above.  (I took a picture of a postcard.)

We heard there was a fantastic ice cream parlor called Berthillon on Ile Saint-Louis....so you know I was all about finding that place!  We looked around for it for a while and ended up at this ice cream parlor.  It was yummy, but we discovered that this ice cream parlor just served the Berthillon ice cream. There actually was a Berthillon ice cream parlor....we just needed to keep walking.  Bummer.

But this really was a yummy treat!


 I don't even know what this is.  Apparently Michael really liked his ice cream.

The streets of Ile Saint-Louis.  It was a cute little area!
 

Yeah.  Sometimes there just aren't words.

We found this adorable and delicious French cookie shop!  Look how carefully they display their cookies.  We loved this place!


 


We found a boulangerie (bread shop) and a fromagerie (cheese shop).  





Michael really likes macaroons.

Our last day in Paris was a lot more relaxing and lots of fun!  Coming up.....Normandy Beaches!
