The Tour - Day 4

13 July

The Marais District
and The Louvre

Many adventures happened during this day's tour activities. We started in the Jewish Quarter, learning about the role France played in WWII and honoring many lost souls. From there, we headed to Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris where we caught a glimpse of the high life in the old world. William set us free to explore and grab lunch (we optimized this freedom with a bit of shopping). Later, the group met back at the hotel for our departure to the
Louvre museum. There we met an art history expert to guide us through the old palace. This day was filled with much soulfulness and reflection.

A Walking Tour

Viewing (possibly) the oldest house in Paris.

Eglise Saint-Gervais

Historic church and one of the oldest in Paris. It houses a famous organ and features amazing stained glass windows. However, this church is most famous for the German shell that fell on the church during a Good Friday service in the early 1900s, killing nearly 100 people.

Jewish Quarter

Deportation memorial remembering when French police "rounded-up" nearly 14,000 Jews in Paris. They were eventually sent on to camps.
