Bon appetit! Our hotel provided the usual 'continental' breakfast of crusty french bread, croissants and a very good selection of jams, honey etc. We seemed to fare slightly better than M & A so we passed on our yoghurts and cheese to them to sustain them through the day!

We visited the magificent Galleries Lafayette for a spot of window shopping. The fantastic stained-glass cupola is worth visiting the shop for even if you don't buy anything. The store have also provided a seating area with a drinking water machine and hot drinks machine from which to admire the view - very thoughtful, or maybe just good marketing. I think we all agreed the self-service restuarant was also worthy of recommendation.
A rather hurried shot of Notre Dame taken into the sunshine as we were crossing the road on the way to Mass. A had been sent on to 'reconnoitre' on Saturday to check times of Masses etc. and we were all delighted to find that the 10.00am Mass would be with Gregorian Chant and it was beautifully executed. Very pleased too that we were able to experience a very reverential Mass despite tourist visitors in the side chapels. Very good stewards in the body of the cathedral making sure all had music sheets, newsletters etc.
