Sunday evening saw us back in Paris and yet again Fr Richard had some great plans of what to do with the evening. First we caught the metro (extensive underground train network) out to have a look at the famed Moulin Rouge. It seems many people do the same thing, all standing across the road from the windmill snapping themselves and their friends in photos.
We were only there a few minutes and then got back on the subway to see the church of St Madeline which is built in a style of an ancient Roman law court with grand stone pillars all the way around. This church was just around the corner from the Paris Opera House so we stopped for a photo there as well. The opera house is very beautiful with gold statues along the top, a very imposing building. We had a very exquisite dinner across the road from the opera house at a place named Café de la Prix (it’s certainly no café). By the time we got home it was after midnight and we had certainly packed in as much as we could into that Sunday.
