We started off today by going to the Luxemburg Gardens/Palace. The Palace and huge garden were built by Catherine D'Medici in the 1600s, and today it's the National Senate of France. The park was really neat-- there were alot of people playing tennis, and kids sailing boats around the huge ornate fountains that are in the garden.
Afterwards, we went back to Notre Dame. We walked around the church and I was able to catch a little bit of Mass. It was really neat with all of the people and the choir and how cool it is inside. Then I went next door and got a Croque Monsieur for lunch.
We took the Metro to Sacre Couer, which is a huge cathedral built on basically a mountain that overlooks the city. We had to walk up a bunch of steps and hills to reach the top, but the view and church were worth it. Then we went to the train station and, after an hour train ride, I arrived back in Lille.
