I just adore strolling along the left bank of the Seine, seeing Notre Dame and the two islands, feeling the arty vibe and browsing the lovely little bookshops. Go as far as you can - The Louvre across the river and the Hotel del Invalides await!

This is the area of Jakarta where you can buy old and second hand books. Some are even antiques. I found a couple of English novels and some beautiful old Indonesian books which I bought as souvenirs. Its a pretty little district even if you don't buy anything.

The red stone mosque was first built in 1147, but demolished and rebuilt in 1199 because it was not correctly aligned with Mecca. The landmark minaret is 221ft (69m) high and consists of six chambers one atop the other, ascended by a ramp through which the muezzin ascends to the top balcony. The Koutoubia Mosque, known as the 'mosque of the booksellers' because of the bazaar of the book traders that used to be nearby. It is really very busy place and many visitors come here to see this place. Inside the mosque there are thousands of rooms for prayer.
