Day 13 – Paris 21 Sept 2013

Another sunny day in Paris and today we are off to Saint Chappell we catch the RER to the Norte dame station and head over the river to the hall of justice and the chapel. We arrive at a good time as the line is not very long and within a few,minutes we are at the main door of the chapel. The lower chapel is ver ornately decorated with painted walls and roof, there is a stone spiral staircase that takes you to the upper chapel, the moment you step off the last step you are blown away buy the overwhelming amount of stain glass windows it really takes the use of stain glass to a new level and gives the room an amazing sense of colour and light.

Next we are off to Notre Dame Cathedral, and they are celebrating 850 years, there are large crowds viewing the facade from the erected seating, we make our way inside and journey around the cathedral, after saint Chappell the inside is plain and dark, but the space is still amazing. We head out and around to the back garden to enjoy a late lunch in the sun.

After lunch we head down the river, shopping in all the box sellers.
