Perhaps the later generations of Paris, France have better taste in the art?

La Conciergerie is the place we would want to visit next in Paris, France. It was originally part of the Royal Palace and I thought that it would be just lovely if we could tour the place.

I wouldn’t miss seeing the vast Gothic room that used to be the maiden’s cell when she was imprisoned in Paris, France.

Being the art fanatic that I am, I ought to visit Musee d’ Orsay next in Paris, France. This museum is dedicated to house the great works of art of Renoir, Monet, Manet, Pissarro and Sisley. Impressionists of Paris, France do govern this museum since it also houses works of post-impressionists, Cezanne, Degas and Vincent Van Gogh.

Paris, France is truly an amazing crib for such masterpieces, sculpture, antiques. Among the greatest attraction here are the statue of Venus de Milo and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, two of Paris, France’s most famous ladies.

Sacre-Coeur is another of Paris, France’s pride for its beautiful mosaics inside the basilica. The basilica surprisingly has the Byzantine style in architecture especially when I thought that it would have a Gothic architectural design since almost all of the Paris, France’s churches have these.

I have always wanted to get as close to heaven as I can be that’s why I wanted to visit Sainte-Chapelle when I visit Paris, France. According to travel guides of Paris, France, this church is likened to a “gateway to heaven” in the Middle Ages for its heavenly sight. In 1248, this church was believed to house the remnants of the true cross and thorn used in Christ’s crucifixion. This gateway to heaven of Paris, France is two chapels in one. Since this chapel was built for the king and important members of the court, I felt more than glad that commoners like me can marvel on its beauty today. The first floor chapel was meant for the servants and lower members of the court, the upper chapel on the other hand is infinite more striking.
