Paris - Day 3, continued
Hotel de Invalides - built at the instruction of King Louis (we don't know which one) to house the war veterans which the brochure said was to assist them but our tour guide told us was because they were littering his streets. It is now a war museum and the chapel houses the tomb of Napoleon BONAPARTE. By the way, everywhere we go, they pay allegiance to him and the letter "N" is inscribed.
Sacre-Coeur - by far, hands down, our favorite place in Paris. Built on a hill, it overlooks the entire city. People gather on the steps of the basillica to enjoy street performers and the view. We came to visit and ended up sitting for hours. We posted a picture of one of the performers who stood on a lamp post and did soccer tricks.
