Aaron gets churched up

On Tuesday and Thursday, Aaron took the metro down to the Alliance Française with me, then walked back to our apartment, stopping to check out a few of the many historic churches along the way. I tried to tempt him to write this blog post himself so he could give you some more of his own impressions of what he saw, but he's content to let the pictures speak for themselves. (A picture is worth one kiloword, you know.)

Nifty stained glass at the Church of St. Severin





Always a crowd in front of Notre Dame!





Some of the non-church sights on the walk back:

French Senate building in the Jardin du Luxembourg



Crossing back over the Seine (the Alliance Française is on the Left Bank and our apartment is on the Right Bank) -- here you can see the little triangular park at the tip of Ile de la Cité
