November 1st: Sainte-Chapelle and Arc de Triomphe


 So my pictures for this are a little out of order for the day but this is what we did:  So on the first we went to the Renoir Museum in the morning and then to Sainte-Chapelle and then to the Musee d' Orsay which is my favorite museum that I have ever been to! and then to the Arc de Triomphe and ate dinner by it at Quick- which is French fast food :)  We were all hungry and just needed something quick.  This picture is Sainte-Chapelle.


 The upper chapel has the most beautiful stained glass I have ever seen.  It created quite the atmosphere in the room because the whole room was covered with these huge windows that let in this blue light.
 This was as were were walking around- took a picture in front of the Louvre as we passed.

If you look in the corner you can see a little tilled car... a street artist has a whole bunch of these tiled "space invaders" (some of the others look more like space invaders than this one) all over the city.  It is rumored that if you were to plot them on a grid where they are in the city they would also make a space invader... we saw about one everyday I think.  This one was by the Orsay.

The arc at night.  Should have gotten the picture of the car that was right in front of us getting busted for drugs we think... silly boys...






And the last few are of the inside of Sainte-Chapelle again.
It was a great day and I was super tired by the end.
