The whole purpose in coming to Paris was to see the refurbished Cathedral.
We took an Uber to the meeting spot for our tour. The tour was for a small group of only 5 of
us and it began at 9:30am.
The first ½ hour, the guide talked outside of the Cathedral
about all that had happened and interesting things about the outside.
Then we went inside and it was amazing. As we mostly remembered it but all cleaned up
and the marble was so white.
The guide walked us around the inside for the next
hour. The only problem was there were throngs
of people and it was very crowed.
After the guide left we took time on our own and first
visited the Treasury with so many items of the Catholic Church going all the
way back to the year 64!
By then it was 11:30am and we entered a section set aside
for prayers. As we were leaving that
area we found out that here was a mass scheduled at Noon.
So, we went back in and very few people were sitting down so
we went right to the front row and almost immediately every seat behind us
filled up.
Precisely at Noon, 8 priest came in and mass began. It was a wonderful experience, especially
from where we were seated.
We then took an Uber back to the hotel to get ready to go
out.
We had a Paris by twilight tour set for 7:00pm and as we
were heading to the meeting spot to first have lunch, the guide cancelled on
us. So, we went to eat at a very famous
restaurant called Bouillion Republlique and had a very good meal.
We took a video which we will post once we are able to post
videos.
Then it was back to the hotel as we have an all-day trip to
Normandy and Omaha Beach. It should be a
very emotional experience.
