Paris- Sainte-Chapelle

We had a little time to go back to the hotel and drop off our souvenirs we had purchased and Nike clothes and use the bathroom.  Then we had to head over to our appointment at Sainte-Chapelle.  We had to walk further than necessary because this park by our hotel was also closed for the Olympics and we had to walk all the way around it to get to the subway entrance.  I recognized these during the Olympics though! The park was just opposite them across the street.

Sainte-Chapelle is so cool!  I loved it so much more than all the weird stuff in London.  It just felt like London worshiped their monarchy and their Church of England is weird.  But Paris was more about Christ and the Bible.  The stained glass windows showed pictures of the stories throughout the Old Testament and I think the New Testament too.  It was nice to recognize them!

Don't be fooled by this picture, this place was packed.  I used the clean up function on my iphone to edit out all the people but their shadows are still there.  It also took out the benches because people were sitting on them, lol. 

 I think these engravings are Adam and Eve?  They all had different stories on them.
