This morning was actually sunny so I headed over to  St. Chapelle, a gothic chapel in the heart of Paris.  Sainte-Chapelle was built for Louis IX and dates back to 1248. The "Holy Chapel" is part of a large palace, now called La Conciergerie. If you ever get a chance to visit this beautiful place make sure it's on a sunny day! When you climb the spiral staircase you will gasp out loud. Don't bother taking pictures though, you will be disappointed by how little they capture. Today I also visited the Musée d'Orsay, one of the most popular museums in Paris. It is home to the Impressionist paintings of Monet, Manet, Cézanne, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, etc. It also houses the work of van Gogh. I enjoyed this museum more than the Louvre. It was much less overwhelming!
