Paris Day 10

Our last full day in Paris was spent revisiting d'Orsay to get Diana a birthday gift, attending Mass at St. Suplice to hear the wonderful organ, walking by the Seine, a quick tour of Val du Grace and relaxing with a final meal at La Rotonde. It began as a sunny day but was raining lightly as we made our way home about 11pm.

Here are some of the scenes from the day:

Flowers and sunshine as we walk to the RER station.

Our constant reference board when at an RER station.

Sunday driving in the old beauty happens in Paris also.

Saint Suplice is a beautiful and serene place. Incense during Mass created the light smoke trails.

A final view of the delightful  river Seine and surrounds.

We had a good time watching these two cats play in the plants and with each other - on the 4th floor across from us. They would sit and stare at the human traffic below - I kept thinking that they were deciding which person to jump on!!

Val du Grace started as a convent, became a military hospital and now is a church and museum plus whatever military stuff goes on.

Medical history is very intriguing - mixing bowls, potions, doctors cases, microscopes, etc..

I've wanted to photograph a staircase like this for a long time - finally found one.

The church at Val du Grace has several beautiful frescoes and intricately designed altar pillars.

Lisa and Sean are off to an early flight this morning, ours is a bit later but we do get into SLC about 9pm today.
