one of the entrance to Place des Vosges. There are seven little windows at the top of this residence. In the old days, the little windows are windows of the servants’ room. And so the more little windows that a residence have at the top, the wealthier the owners are.

the Place is in the form of a square

located in the Marais district

interesting brickwork and special color tone

breakfast at McDonalds behind the apartment

free wi-fi is available at most cafes. Passwords need to be obtained at some. And the funny thing is…wi-fi is pronounced wee-fee…no wonder they didn’t understand me when I said why-fy

then to Sainte Chapelle on Île de la Cité. It is a prime example of the phase of Gothic architectural style called Rayonnant.
