Today we went to the National Museum of the Middle Ages. It was very interesting and had a great garden outside the 15th century building that used the same plants that were featured in the tapestries inside the Museum.
Next we got some take out food and headed for the Luxembourg Gardens. We ate our lunch under some shade trees and this being a holiday for France, everyone else had the same idea. We managed to find a good spot nonetheless.
The Luxembourg Gardens has all that is charming, unique, and befuddling about Parisian parks: cookie-cutter trees, ironed-and-pressed walkways, sculpted flower beds, and immaculate emerald lawns meant for admiring, not for lounging.
Next, we stumbled upon Eglise Saint-Sulpice. We just walked in and it was amazing. It was hot today and we enjoyed the coolness inside the church. Pictures do not do it justice.

We found a metro station and got off at Rue Mouffetard; a winding market street with more affordable shopping, but nonetheless charming. We had been at it all day and it was very hot today. The metro trains were all packed because of the holiday and good weather. We made our way back to our apartment and opened up all the great windows and enjoyed a French beer with a hoppiness not usually found in European beers. Another full day and tired legs. We wouldn't have it any other way!
