Easter in Paris
Oh ,to be in Paris now that
Easter is here is a wish that
many women it dulge in. And for
me it came true and there cannot
be another more exciting place to
visit at Easter than the gay
French capital.
Travelling by boat overnight
from Newhaven, England, to
Dieppe, we arrived around 2:30
a.m. and entrained for Paris.
Four hours later the train snorted
its way into St. Lazare Station
and we were in the busy, bustling
and exciting city of Paris. Find-
ing a' convenient cafe, we drop-
ped in for hot, black coffee nd
rolls before descendinginto the
Metro and away on. the subway to
our. hotel at St. Sulpice.
The proprietor was disturbed to
find his two visitors waiting to be
ileceiyed. at .such nn:;esrly;;iIour.
Gestulating, he made us under-
stand.that all his guests were still
sleeping, our rooms were not
ready. We assured him we only
wanted to leave ourluggage and
would be back much later in the
day. Again we descended the
Metro and made our way towards
the centre of the city. As it. was
Good Friday morning, we de-
cided to visit the beautiful
church, the Madelaine. The per-
fume of carnations greeted us as
we entered the church and just
inside near a side altar was a
cross about ten feet high, made
entirely out of carnations from
white, .pink, red to deepest wine
colour in' the centre. Silently
genuflecting, we knelt to say a
brief prayer.
Going on a shop -gazing spree
we admin -t the exquisite work-
manship ofg the ' French kid
gloves,' smart hats and beautiful
artificial flowers. After lunch we
boarded one of the sight-seeing
buses which took off at such great
speed we were almost jostled
from our seats. Passng the gold-
en statue of Joan of Arc on horse-
back and another one of Welling-
ton on the top of a tall pillar made
from the bronze of 16 guns, the
bus stoped abruptly outside the
Louvre.
This magnificent building
which, originally was the palace.
of the Kings of France, now
boasts of being the largest mu-
seum in the world. It covers an
area of 49 acres and houses such
treasures as the original statue of
Venus de Milo and the famous
picture, the Mona Lisa. Our guide
informed us that the statue of
Venus was found by a peasant in
the village of Milo in 1820 and it is
thought to. have been sculptured
some three or four hundred years
before Christ. At the top of the
grand staircase is another
masterpiece of Greek sculpture,
the Winged Victory.
?Boarding the bus again we soon
arrived at the Eiffel Tower and
decided to visit the tomb of
Napoleon near ;4)` , They body, ,of
the great' Fr' ne i `waior isen-
closed within six coffins inside a
tomb carved in quartz. Dining
later that evening at the Beaux de
Arts restaurant in the artist's
corner of Paris, we feasted on
omelettes. Overcast skies greet-
ed us on Saturday morning .and
we contented ourselves ° with
shopping. Our purchases were
few (mostly souvenirs) as prices
were fantastically high.
Easter Sunday dawned bright
and sunny with a cloudless sky.
Fresh green budshad started tc
burst on the chestnut trees to vi*
with the fashions of the day. We
attended a service in a nearby '
church_ before setting off towards
the Champs Elysee. Surely this
must be the most perfect country
walk within. a city, with its broad
tree -lined boulevards and sur-
rounded as it is by gardens. Men
with hansom cabs waited to drive
tourists and show them the de-
lights of the city and to relate
some of its long, long history, for
Paris is an old city which began
before the Christian era. Down
through the 'centuries men have
added to her charm and grace.
Yes, Paris at Easter is a
memorable experience. You
collie away . with memories of a
river that must be crossed many
times as you explore the city. You
remember the beauty of the
asilica of Sacre-Coeur, the
magnificence of• the Arc de
Triomphe, the, andure of Notre
Dame Cathedral and the peace of
the .Tuilerie Gardens, and you
vow that you will come back
again. Perhaps another Easter.
