Christmas in Paris


Jardin de Luxembourg



Unless I'm mistaken, THAT is an orange tree. And it's probably not having much of a good time in the winter weather.

Le Cordon Bleu!

One day I walked from the Latin Quarter (where the Foyer is) through part of Montparnasse and at one point I was crossing a street and "Oh, hey, there's the Eiffel Tower."

My room


My Christmas spread

Marché de Noël on the Champs Élysées. Unfortunately, my camera doesn't really do pictures at night or indoors when the room is dark.


Notre Dame

Pont Neuf

Palais de Justice

Conciergerie


Pont Neuf





The enormous chandelier had been taken down during renovations. OR, just so I could take a picture of it.




Square René Viviani

Église Saint Julien-le-Pauvre

Chants de Noël and midnight mass at Notre Dame

Foyer International des Étudiantes (i.e. the place where I hid from Santa)

Saint Chappelle (lower chapel)

The upper chapel


The stained glass windows are absolutely incredible. (Saint Chappelle itself isn't very large, but it's easy to see why it's famous.)


The oldest fresco in Paris, in the lower chapel.
