We finally got to walk around a French market on Saturday when we went to Rue Cler. They had lots of delicious food and we had fun walking around and looking at all of it. 
We got fresh fruit and pizza for lunch and had a picnic by the river. That was fun.
After lunch we went to Sainte Chapelle, a small church by Notre Dame. The inside is painted, as most of the cathedrals were originally, and it was neat to get a feel for that.
Upstairs there were incredible stained glass windows. They made up most of the walls and it was beautiful and unbelievable.
Next we went to Notre Dame. That was cool just because it was Notre Dame and we had studied it, but overall the experience wasn't great. 
There were tons of tourists being noisy and taking flash pictures, so it wasn't a sacred atmosphere. When we were in Marsaille and went to the church there it was really neat because it was quiet and in the background you could hear someone singing Gregorian chant, that was a spiritual atomosphere. 
But the architecture and windows of Notre Dame are impressive. It was a beautiful day and after seeing the cathedrals, we got Italian gelato, which was good. 
We walked around awhile and had dinner at a place that had cheeseburgers and fries, which were good.
