Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre (Church of Saint Julian the Poor) Monday continued We found another beautiful church nearby, Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre. The church is one of the oldest religious buildings in Paris. Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre was built in Gothic style during the 13th century. We wanted to look inside, but there was a service in progress. We had seen many restaurants serving fondue in the Latin Quarter and that sounded good to Linda, so we returned to the Flagrant Delice, which looked like one of the better choices. The little restaurant was nearly full and rather hot - the flames from the fondue were adding to the heat. We split a cheese fondue with bread and potato, which turned out to be more filling than we expected and we ate no more that night. It was also my first opportunity to have cidre (hard apple cider) during the trip and we split a good bottle of Cidre Doux, a sweet cider from Normandy.
We finally walked along the bank of the La Seine where
I had nearly proposed to Linda during our first visit to Paris, (The
proposal at the Eiffel Tower)
By the end of our cruise, it was getting late and we caught
one of the last trains back to the airport. Well, most of the way to the
airport. It turned out that due to construction, the late night trains
do not go all the way and you transfer to a shuttle bus for the last of
the route.
