Notre Dame Cathedral by Night
Jun 12th, 2003No Comments
Notre Dame by night is very different from the day. We waited about an hour to climb the steps to the top of one of the towers, walk along to the other and see Quasimodo’s famous bell. The gargoyles were fantastic, too.

Napoleon’s Apartments, the Louvre, Paris
Jun 11th, 2003No Comments
Napoleon’s Apartments are remarkably well furnished for a museum display. Versailles and Kensington Palace (in England) both were quite sparse in comparison, but you really got a sense of the opulence of the French aristocracy of the period.

The Louvre was once quite a small palace by it’s current standards. With each successive occupant, the palace expanded to the massive size it is today. It wasn’t made an art gallery until quite recently, after undergoing extensive renovations.
