Center arch detail of the Last Judgment. People going to heaven on the left, going to hell on the right. The angel and devil below Jesus are weighing the souls and the devil is trying to pull the scale in his direction.

The cross behind the altar
The cross and altar in the back of Notre Dame. The cross is only about a decade old.
Famous pastry shop in Paris, Laduree. Of course we picked up a few things here.
Cristy lighting up the metro map. You push the button of the stop you want to get to, and the map lights up the route you need to take. We only saw one of these, so they're not at all metros.
One of the metro stops, this one is actually above ground.
Moulin Rouge windmill, the beginning of our walking tour through Montmartre.
House Van Gogh lived in with his brother for a few years. His painting “the blue room” is of his room here on the 3rd floor.
The last remaining original windmill in Montmartre. When the Prussian forces were attacking Paris, they destroyed the windmills to cut off the food supply. The owner of this windmill tried to resist, so the army made an example of him. They either tied him to one of the fans of the mill and spun him to death or they quartered him first and then tied his body parts to each of the fans.
St. Denis, the patron saint of Paris. He was beheaded by the Romans when he came to preach the Bible. Rumor has it that after he was beheaded, he picked up his head, washed it off in a fountain, walked down the road a little, and then finally collapsed on the site he would be buried.
Sacre Coeur
It's made of this self-cleaning stone. When exposed to water, the calcite inside the stone comes to the surface and removes the grime on the outside.
Joan of Arc on the right, One of the Louis kings on the left.
Picasso lived here for a while.
The store Amelie did her grocery shopping in the movie.

Notre Dame at night
Our hostel.
I'm sure this is famous and has a name, it's a giant roundabout and all the tourists are around here.
There's the famous pastry shop again, Laduree.
The island that Notre Dame is on.
Notre Dame in the day time.
Side of Notre Dame, can't really see the flying buttresses, but they're there.
