Bonjour tout le monde!
Wednesday, May 4
Today I did walk number 12, a relaxing walk around the
beautiful church Saint-Sulpice. The walk started in front of the Hôtel Lutetia,
a very nice hotel where Picasso once stayed. However, it was under construction
so I didn’t get to see the full grandeur of it all.
I walked along a few more roads and passed a statue of a
centaur sculpted in 1985.

I then made it to the beautiful fountain in front of the
church Saint-Sulpice. I will always be amazed by how many fountains, churches
and gardens there are in Paris. I also stopped at this very fancy patisserie
that looked delicious.

I went inside the church and admired the beautiful
architecture on the inside. I also saw the Saint-Sulpice gnomon, a supposed
ancient vestige of pagan roots where the church was built on. This church is
the second largest church in Paris, right behind the Notre-Dame.

I stopped by many cute shops and stores and walked by the
Abbaye Saint-Germain which had a little garden next to it. This walk was very
nice and my friends and I just leisurely took our time throughout it all.
