The last day in Paris was an interesting day. It is strange to know you are leaving a great city and may never be back so you are torn between just wanting to lay back and enjoy the experience and fitting in all the "have-to" places. So, we went to a cemetery Pere Lachaise (what is it about Candy and cemeteries?) that had very touching and strange burial sites. And when I say touching I don't mean Jim Morrison "Touch me babe" for you Doors fans, but Chopin, and many Holocaust monuments.

Then, on to the Berthe Morisot exhibition of paintings and drawings at the Marmottan private museum. She was one of the only female Impressionists and her work was exceptional. We then went on the obligatory Seine boat cruise at night. Only, it really was cool. The sights of Paris at night are really pretty and the boats are the best way to see them. By then it was late and we took the Paris subway back to the Latin Quarter, stopped by for a quick glace (sorbet) and then to bed. We saw all of Paris we could see in six days and felt satisfied. Now, it was time to go on to the South of France, warmer weather, and the countryside.
