After giving ourselves the pleasure of visiting the great Louvre Museum, we set off for the historic Bastille square and the July Column in the Arsenal area. There, we recalled the events that occurred more than two centuries ago and that were decisive in the French Revolution.

Then, we took the subway to Saint Michael -Notre Dame to visit the beautiful and recognized Basilica of the same name. In order to get there, we had to go through the popular and lively Latin neighborhood.

At the end of a few blocks, we found the beautiful basilica, built on a sort of island, on the River Seine. We took many photos from different viewpoints. The Church was colossal, more than I thought, and of course, it was beautiful. We jokingly remembered the famous story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and looked at the bell tower to see if we could find Quasimodo.

It was a very satisfying walk, but it was time to eat so we enjoyed an Italian meal, for a change. I really preferred it that way and avoid eating those snails that I saw in several French restaurants and that were not to my liking; however I respect the culture of each country. I remember that we were posing with the traditional French berets and laughing a lot. Later, we bought some souvenirs for our families and friends.

Before leaving, we had coffee in a nice Parisian cafe, just like the ones that appear in French films; I thought I had seen the same coffee shop on a movie, or maybe they were all very similar.

After such a special day, we called our families back home and took a well-deserved sleep.
