So, 2 papers down. The easiest and the toughest one respectively. And, as usual, I did just decent for the easiest and was screwed left, right and centre for the toughest paper. Typical.

Let's continue where we left off.

Notre Dame

Made popular by the novel "Hunchback of Notre Dame", the Notre Dame gothic cathedral belongs in the category of Paris famous landmarks.

Notre Dame Cathedral

Regretfully, it was somewhere near Easter when we were there and the amount of tourists lining up just to go inside the cathedral was unbelievable.

We decided just to admire from afar, snap a couple of photos and enjoy the street performances nearby...without paying.

Look at the crowd behind

Pantheon

The Pantheon in Paris acts as a burial place for the famous ancient people instead of a temple ala the Pantheon from Rome.

This is where you will see crypts, tombs, necropolis and stuffs that you normally encounter while slashing demons in the Diablo game.

However, there was a cancer awareness event going on that day and we didn't enter the Pantheon. Well, it should be well worth visiting the interiors as it seems to look beautiful on the net.

Sacre Coeur Basilica

Located at the highest point in Paris lies proudly the Sacre Coeur Basilica, another famous landmark in Paris.

It took us hours to locate the place as there were too many confusing streets before and the fact that we didn't know the basilica is at the top of the hill makes matter worse. Nonetheless, it was worth it when we finally arrived to behold the skyline of Paris from the top and of course, the majestic basilica itself.

The Sacred Coeur is currently a Roman Catholic church and since entering the church was free, we got to admire the beautiful interiors of the church. Sadly, there are no photos available as I wouldn't want to disturb the peaceful service/prayers with my touristy act.

Thrown out by nuns and rolling down the hill definitely ain't on my things-to-experience list.

Miscellaneous

Other monuments that might be worth having a look at would be the July Column at the Place de la Bastille, where formerly the Bastille prison stood.

Or just walking past the Petit Palais musuem, and the Grand Palais exhibition hall.

Grand Palais

For the avid fan of shopping, you could pay the Galeries Lafayette a visit for a wide range of fashion and designer goods.

For me, all see no touch.

The dome in Lafayettes

Or if designer goods are way out of your budget, you will be glad to know there are some stuff that you can always afford.

Bata in Paris, now this is unexpected
