We went to the sunday afternoon organ concert at Eglise St Sulpice and it was delightful. We could look at all the lovely frescoes and hear the beautiful notes of the huge organ.

Gorgeous but somber, we were practically the only ones there when we went which just added to the eerie nature of the place! We visited the crypt where we saw the graves of literary giants like Voltaire, Victor Hugo and Emile Zola.

What a fantastic place to go for the day! My boyfriend and I are self-confessed geeks and this was the highlight of our trip without a doubt! The Cinaxe, where your chairs move with the film, was the most awesome cinema experience EVER!!

People! Paris is not all about the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame! There's so much to see, like this Arab Museum, where there are some fascinating exhibits, and this time we went we joined the "Arab Paris" tour around the city which was fascinating.

Beautiful but unfinished, this Cathedral is an enigma. Go for the architecture and the two clocks, the oldest chiming clock in the world and a solar clock. They put on a sound and light show a few times a day too so try and see it, it's especially great for the kids.
