Friday 13th Sainte Chapelle and Pompidou

posted by lisa not brad.....

Day 2 of our 2 day Museum Pass. The Museum Pass is a great idea. It's 30 euros for 2 days and it allow you to cut the lines (but not the security bag check lines) to most of the museums.

So, first stop Sainte Chapelle. Beth (my sister) told us to come here when we were in Paris for our honeymoon. We loved it so much we wanted to come back. The church was built in 1242-1248. This picture does the stain glass no justice! It really is an amazing place!

FYI- the museum pass is great here because the line is so long to get in!



Walking past Notre Dame to go get some lunch (and of course an ice cream) on Ile St. Louis

My second favorite museum in Paris (brad's too) is the Pompidou Center.
The top floor has a modern art collection starting at the impressionists and moving on.
The floor below has the modern modern work. Brad and I spent over 3 hours here.
We loved the top floor. I must say i didn't really get the other floor.
3 white canvases... art?



keeping with our theme of taking pictures of ourselves in front of major monuments, we thought we would get a little arty.
Thought i would be like Monet and show you the same view at different times a day.
