Versailles and Sacre Coeur

Over the last few days I visited the Palace at Versailles and the basilica Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. Versailles was as majestic and awesome as you might expect. Beautiful and enourmous. I saw a movie being shot near Sacre Coeur and recognized some landmarks from Amelie. There were lots of entertaining musicians around, the church was beautiful and a grueling hike to the top, but a spectacular view! Photos below...

St. Sulpice and Luxembourg

Today I visited the St. Sulpice church. I think I may have stayed a christian if I had worshiped in a place like this. It was quite possibly the most beautiful church I have ever seen; setting an instantly powerful and, dare I say, spiritual mood. It's very large and there was a choir singing a'capella which echoed beautifully throughout the entire structure. It was such a testament to object making, I couldn't beleive how old everything was and that it was still standing in it's place just as it may have looked back in the 1400s. I thought I could stay there all day. That is until I wandered over to the gorgeous, peaceful, Luxembourg Gardens, completely by accident, where I wandered around for at least an hour and probably could have spent many more if I didn't have to get back home. It was a beautiful day in Paris.
