Went from Catacombs to Notre Dame. Weather very hot this afternoon, and we sat outside the cathedral with the baguettes I ordered in French. The vendor insisted on speaking to us in English.
Went in Notre Dame, but too tired to really look at many things, so it was a fleeting visit. Walked from Notre Dame to the Louvre and managed to get in free (EU citizen under 25). Very busy this afternoon and inside the pyramid is like being in a giant greenhouse. Did the usual touristy thing and went to the Mona Lisa room, which was packed full of tourists taking photos. So many amazing paintings and sculptures, but we were both too tired to stay long.
Wandered around for another half an hour looking for a metro station home. We were looking for the Tuileries station, and managed to walk through the whole garden without finding it. Eventually got back and went to the shop opposite our hostel to buy snacks for tomorrow's train journey.
So far we've managed 2 'Pictures at an Exhibition' (Tuileries and Catacombs), not sure how many more are possible to go to.
