Sunday in the City

Mass at the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur (Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) is phenomenal. Another in the list of cathedrals where we have knelt to pray in awe. The parking on Montmarte is definitely difficult on a Sunday, yet we managed to snag a spot quite close up and arrive in time for a good pew. The Society of Jesus (called Jesuits) was founded here--I learned this today and am mindful of the prayer we've memorized back in homeschool by St. Ignatius Loyola! A nice unit study tidbit to share with the boys. The view from here is tremendous and gives a 360' look at all of Paris. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch in the artist district and a tour of the stalls with painters and silhouette cutters. Au Revoir, Paris! The whole Frechet family drops us off at the airport, and we are sad to leave this city of food and culture. We promise to make plans to see them again--in America and in France!
