After the Louvre, we started to walk over to the Marais District. We came upon this amazing cathedral, St. Eustache. We had to check it out! As we got closer, I noticed the hearts in the stained glass and many other interesting little details. They were conducting a small mass at the back of the cathedral in "Mary's chapel". So cool!
We kept walking past the Pompidou Center. We showed Mark where we attended church. We walked through the Jewish District and into the Marias Neighborhood. We got a few more things at our favorite chocolate shop. We found the Place des Vosges and sat and enjoyed some of our tasty snacks. My favorite were these thin oval chocolates topped with hazelnuts, pistachios, and a bit of orange rind. OH, SOOO GOOOD!
The Place des Vosges was beautiful. It was so great to "People watch". We saw friends meeting from work, moms with kids, and of course Parisian lovers holding each other. It was a very friendly, comforting atmosphere. We sat and talked and just enjoyed being there!
We had a fantastic dinner at a restaraunt just outside of the park. It was delicious French cuisine. About 2 hours later, we left and enjoyed our walk home. It was a wonderful, relaxing night!
