I think my favorite place that we went on day one was St Paul’s cathedral. I have been in several large cathedrals in France, but St Paul’s was definitely my favorite. I think the white walls and the gold accents made the cathedral very bright and welcoming and just the huge scale of the structure was really amazing. The picture that I have included was from the top of the golden gallery. The view was incredible, but the see-through stairs on the way up were a little scary to walk on! One thing that I found to be really interesting is that even though the cathedral is a prominent religious building, to me, the priests seemed to be out of place. It felt like another tourist destination rather than a major religious structure. I am really glad we had the opportunity to go in St Paul’s and especially to the top and I wish we were allowed to take pictures, so I could remember all the details in the future!
