Paris and all things latin.

---

Today we spent most of the day in Paris’ Latin Quarter. It amazing that we had already stayed here a week a few years ago and missed so much. We started the day with mass at Notre Dame de Paris, then up to the Sorbonne, the original University of Paris. We then saw the Pantheon, which was a church, then a civic building, then church, then back to a civic building. Down in the crypt, there are buried many French notables, including Emile Zola, Victor Hugo and Marie Curie. We went to the Jardin du Luxembourg, which were the gardens of the palace of the same name. The gardens we beautiful to stroll around on such a lovely day. We then visited several other churches. At Saint Sulpice, we checked out the meridian line. We saw a similar one in Bologna. Maybe this is an extension. (Ha ha ha, joke Joyce). We ended the day with vespers back at the cathedral.
