Tiny outside Notre Dame


Notre Dame interior

The next morning began with an introduction to the Métro as we made our way to the Notre Dame Cathedral. After snow flurries landed on our shoulders during Patrick's orientation, I was tempted to warm up near all the votive candles inside!

After touring the cathedral's beautiful interior, our group had a lunch of delicious crêpes. Some of us then made our way Monoprix. Similar to Target, Monoprix soon became my go-to solution for a variety of purchases during my trip, including hotel-room snacks and warm wool leggings!

I should mention that while Rick Steves' tours make a point of not being heavy on shopping, there's always time to be used at your own discretion... and my discretion was shopping. (It's Paris. I'm female. What did you expect?)
