Once again a very hot sunny day. Was out in the sun too long, even with SPF 185 sunscreen (or some number like that still managed to get burned). Everyone in Paris either has a burn (for some reason mainly the guys) while the women don't seem to burn, they just develop a lovely golden brown tan (yum).
Off to the Tuileries garden, then Place de la Madeleine. Eglise St. Augustus was closed. A lot of the stores and cafes were closed, last Thursday was a National holiday (VE day) and the weekend was Pentecost, so I guess Monday was a day off for some and not others.
Walked along les Grands Boulevards and then to Place de l'Opera. Tried to see inside the other day but a performance was going on, this time not a problem. The price was 8 Euros, which I originally thought was a bit steep, but once you walk around you won't regret the price. Simply amazing, is a highlight, wonder why I never thought of visiting before, guess not on many suggested lists. After down to Pont Neuf and Pont des Arts. Extended stay at the square at the side of Notre Dame to watch the street entertainment, the rollerbladers going through pylons were great. The girls in the crowd enjoyed the white guys rapping/hip hopping.
