Bonjour

Today I did walk number 11. This walk included the Musée
National du Moyen âge, Sorbonne, Pantheon, Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and Arènes de
Lutèce.
This walk started passing by the Musée National du Moyen
âge, which we couldn’t go in because it was closed so I will have to be going
back a different time. Then we passed by the Chapelle de la Sorbonne.

After walking by the College de France we went into the
Pantheon. The pantheon was beautiful on the inside. The pantheon used to be a
church, but today it is a museum. In the crypt there are tombs of many
different famous French people including Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo and Marie and
Pierre Curie.

We then went into the Saint-Etienne-du-Mont which used to be
a monastery. I will never get over how many beautiful churches there are in
paris.

After the Saint-Etienne-du-Mont we went into the Arènes de
Lutèce, and ancient Roman arena. It was originally built at the end of the
first century C.E. and it was amazing to be in a place that had so much
history. This walk was an easier walk, but it was really interesting to see the
tombs of ancient people and to be in a place that had been there fore thousands
of years. I love the history of France.
