Paris, Day 3













Today we checked out The Latin Quater its a university area. There are a lot of art galleries and expensive shops. We also went to The Panthéon, but they put a modern piece of art in there which definetly ruined the place. Otherwise The Pantheon was lovely. We went past some other churches aswel, Saint Sulpice and Saint Germain Des Prés. We also went to the Luxembourg gardens and saw the Palais du Luxembourg. The Palais du Luxembourg is a very nice palace but its not as good as The Buckingham palace.
Then we went to La Défense, its the trading and business district of Paris. We saw the Grand Arch, which is a hugh arch, its over 30 stories high. I also saw a big statue of a thumb, it was kinda weird but cool. Then we went to the La Defénce Christmas markets. I really enjoyed that market, it was big and there was lots to see. The maximum temperature today was 9.5°c and very cold. We didn't go out that night because it was too cold.
