After an unhurried awakening, we headed to the bus (ack! That was an adventure!), eventually got the right one, and ended up at the Notre-Dame Cathedral!*
This is how most of my interior shots "came out"...
Then on to the Palais de Justice and Saint Chapelle**
The plan was to continue to Place Dauphine for lunch, but Les Deux Palais beckoned - we had lunch there instead :-)
After lunch, we caught the bus to the Luxembourg Garden and Palace.
I had semi-planned to see the Panthéon, where Simone Veil was recently interred alongside other French heros - this quick shot on our way home will hold until the next trip.
We relaxed at our apartment, and had Turkish take-out for dinner :-)

* We probably should have parked Mom in line with the wheelchair (instead of out randomly in the square) while we ran around getting photos. But the line moved fast...
** More wheelchair niceness! Two of us were directed around the crowd to another entrance (and assured that we could all meet up easily - no, but we did find each other). But then found that the Chapelle had an entrance fee?!? Religious buildings in France are supposed to be open to the public - apparently this has been decommissioned, and is now a national monument. You can see some interior shots here.
