Notre Dame

Thursday was our last day in Paris. Since our train to Switzerland didn’t leave until 5pm we decided to spend the afternoon at Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter.

We timed it perfectly and were able to attend the noon mass. It was totally in French but we were able to follow along. After that we toured the church and spent some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament saying some prayers and lighting a candle for a friend.

This was Mary’s chapel and was probably my favorite. We stopped at the little gift shop on the way out and got a couple gifts for the kids.

This was my favorite picture of Notre Dame taken from the bridge. It was another gorgeous day in Paris. We were so blessed to have such beautiful weather the entire time. As were we crossing the bridge and holding hands one of the street vendors asked if we were on our honeymoon.

The Latin Quarter was a short walk from Notre Dame so we walked around a little. We ate lunch at an outside café and then picked up an amazing pistachio desert. There were some great souvenir stores so we picked out some cute things for the kids and I got an apron for myself.
