Paris, October 2009, Day 1

The Eurostar brought us smoothly into the Gare du Nord from where we caught the Metro to Faidherbe Chaligny for the Color Design Hotel. Our room had been Tangoed.

The road from the hotel into central Paris leads up to the Bastille. The first photo shows the Bastille monument from the Opera Bastille (not to be confused with the more attractive Paris Opera House), where we were sat on the steps.

From the Bastille we walked to the Notre Dame Cathedral: Catholic Disneyland, complete with machines selling souvenirs (because if there's one thing the Catholic Church needs, it more money).

The final picture was not taken in the cathedral, but on the walk back to the hotel, in the Marais district.
