Sunday in Paris
Apparently most of Paris shuts down on Sunday. This is the day we’ve chosen to go to the Louvre because we thought it was free. It’s only free on the first Sunday of every month. On Sunday March, 20th it will cost 13 euros. Oh well.
So with everyone at the Louvre or Marais on a Sunday, what else is there to do?
The New York Times suggests says, “In Paris, the Rue des Martyrs Is a Slice of Village Life”. So maybe we’ll head down to Rue des Martyrs where Saint Denis was beheaded for preaching the Christian gospel in the 5th century.

Well, we made the same mistake. I hope it wasn’t us who told you that. Oops. We thought it was the first Sunday of the month and showed up only to realize - DUH - it wasn’t the first Sunday of the month. So close. But worth the money - the Louvre is great. And yes, Sunday is pretty much a write-off in terms of shopping. But see the Louvre, walk down through the Jardin des Touleries, eat a crepe, you’ll have a wonderful time!

No, I think it was Lissa who “claims” our travel agent told her. No matter. Our plans are pretty loose. Too bad the Catacombs are closed until May. That was one of the places I was really interested in seeing.

A “slice” of village life, and Saint Denis was beheaded? That’s just not funny!
