Was early in the queue waiting to go inside St Chapelle around 10am. Took a metro to Pont Neuf and walked to the place in about 10-15mins using my Google map. Kinda hard to find but lucky there are signs around.
For this, there are no special queue for ppl with museum pass or advance tickets....
Ticket was about 8 euro but the view of the stained glass was worth it even though the place is v small and there was nothing else to see.
The stained glass was amazing and told stories from the old testement starting from Genesis.
Next stop is the famous Notre Dame cathedral which was v nearby and about less than 5 mins walking distance away.
There are 3 main doors at the front of the building. The one on the right is the queue going in and its v long but moved v fast. The one on the left is the exit. If u are going up the tower, the entrance is on the left side of the building.
Entrance is free. There are no security check when I came in. The whole place was solemn and dark.
Left side of the building with a long queue of people going up the tower.
Next stop is the Luxembourg garden which I walked to from Notre Dame in about 30mins.....through St Michel Blvd. It's a straight road lined with many shops and cafes.
Crossing the seine river
Passing by this fountain next to St Michel metro station.
Buying a Pauls sandwich along the way to eat in the garden later. My first time trying Paul.
The garden was very beautiful. Loved the autumn foliage.
Sat on a bench and stared at the red maple leaves falling off the tree while chewing my sandwich. Felt like a magical moment to me.
Enjoyed myself in this garden very much as it is less crowded compared to Tuileries Garden. There is also a paid toilet (0.50 euro) in the park. Awesome place to take a stroll and rest.
