We started our first full day in Paris with a walk to Sainte-Chapelle (the Holy Chapel) unique and famous for its stained glass windows. We then made our way to Notre Dame. Students had time to grab some lunch and explore the well-known Latin Quarter, home to the oldest bookstore in Paris, Shakespeare and Company. After lunch we regrouped at Notre Dame and took a tour inside. Before we left, students had the opportunity to visit the underground archaeological crypt at Notre Dame, built to protect ruins found during excavations in 1965. After our visit we walked along the river Seine to the famous Pont-Neuf Bridge where we began our boat tour of Paris! For dinner, we had two smaller group dinners at authentic French restaurants near our hotel.
