Up and out and on the train by 10.30am. Got a 14 Euro ticket each that covered us all day on trains trams and The Metro. Arrived at Notre Dame train station and had a coffee in a lovely café (10 Euro!) walked around the little side streets before going in to Notre Dame. There was a bit of a queue but not much of a wait. It was huge inside and very beautiful. Outside we walked behind for another great view of it. Came across another 'padlock' bridge over the Seine (they seem to be everywhere and must just keep getting heavier and heavier!) we continued to explore the area and came across a film crew making an advert for Toyota cars. There were lots of book and old newspaper stalls along the river and many more stunning buildings. We crossed back over into the Saint Michel area and spent a while deciding which restaurant to eat in as there were so many. The one we picked turned out to be really good and we enjoyed a 3 course meal with wine for 42 Euro. After our meal we walked past The Sorbonne and through some markets which were selling lots of gourmet foods and nice handmade items. Wanted then to make the most of our ticket so got on the Metro to then pick up a tram thinking we would be able to sit and enjoy the view, but it turned out to be peak hour by now and we had to stand so could not really see much. Got off and then caught our train back to Versailles. Back at Priscilla we watched a few episodes of Shetland on the laptop.
