Sunday

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! I got up bright and early to go to Mass at St. Matthieu’s church. It was an incredible experience. I sat at the back so I could see everything that was happening around me. I enjoyed being able to understand the stories that were being told and thought that hearing the organ was just incredible. So glad that I took the time to do that! Mass got out around 12:30 and I made my way back home for lunch.

Stores were closed because of the holiday, so there wasn’t much to do outside. It was chilly, despite the beautiful sun. Still, I wanted to make the most of my visit. I put on a podcast and set out in a direction that I hadn’t explored yet. Here are some pictures from my walk!

I saw a lot of rich people houses!
Love the stone work here.
Institute de L’assomption
French side walks have lower curbs than American ones. People often just pull their cars up onto the side walk like it’s a parking space. Life in a wheelchair here would be incredibly difficult.
I crossed a little bridge and discovered an adorable park. There were people having picnics beside the river.
This is downstream from La Petite Venise

Absolutely love the shutters here
I thought it was cute that the bridge was decorated in these little locks.
There is no Easter Bunny in France. Instead, they have Easter chickens
The streets were empty

After my walk, I found myself in the main park. I sat and read a book on my phone for a while before I got cold. When I got back to my room, I warmed up pizza from the night before and had some snacks. I watched movies all night.
