The Pantheon

 

This is the day we visited The Pantheon.

Neither of us had been before, and we both fell in love with this beautiful structure full of magnificent architecture, sculpture and artwork, the fascinating Foucault pendulum and the crypt.  "Interment in the crypt of the Panthéon is severely restricted and is allowed only by a parliamentary act for "National Heroes". "

Luxembourg Garden, Angelina's, Hermès, oh my . . .

 Another perfect day in Paris.  Some planned, some unplanned.  All perfect.

Luxembourg Gardens 

"The Luxembourg Garden carousel is almost hidden in calm shade away from the main touristy areas of the garden and is beautiful in its simplicity.

This simple and unassuming carousel is one of the oldest to remain in Paris dating from 1879 and is designed by Charles Garnier, the architect of the Opera de Paris. Because of its age it has no lights, no music and even no floor. All this makes no difference to the kids (and I must admit me too) in the fun you can have taking a spin on this historical carousel."

Medici Fountain

Angelina's

Yes.  We each treated ourselves to what may be, the ultimate Parisian souvenir.

An Hermès scarf.

I love Wallace Fountains.

"The Wallace fountains are named after Sir Richard Wallace, an English philanthropist who financed their creation after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Wallace aimed to provide free, clean drinking water to the citizens of Paris, who were suffering from the aftermath of the war and the Siege of Paris. His generosity led to the installation of these iconic fountains, which have since become a symbol of Parisian culture and history."

After the park, Angelinas and our Hermes shopping, we strolled into the square in front of the Saint Sulpice church. Built in the 17th century with foundations dating back to the 12th century, Saint-Sulpice is one of the largest churches in Paris.

See you tomorrow!!
