Visited Sainte Chapelle for my art homework. A gothic style church done right (sorry Notre-Dame.) Sainte Chapelle was exclusively for the King and Queen to worship at. Nobles could be invited, but rarely did anyone else step inside (unless they were maids and such)
The Conciergerie was right next door so I popped in there too. This was a prison before that held famous people such as Marie Antoinette and Robespierre prisoners during the French revolution. Part of the place is currently a bizarre exhibit called Bêtes-off. Still not sure what I saw, or what the meaning/purpose was but I really enjoyed it.

I was told by a kid in school that plantains at 2 for 1€ is too expensive. The street near our school filled with INdian restaurants had them cheaper. I bought 4 plantains and a couple of green bananas for under 3€. Found my shopping spot for platanos :)
