The Cinematheque at last!

Today was our first full day in Paris, so we had breakfast at the hostel at 8, then headed out to the Cinematheque for our first day of research and to look at the museum.

The Bibliotheque du Film (BiFi) is a really cool place. Housed in a sort of secret part of the Cinematheque Francaise, one can purchase a pass (good for 3 months) that gives you access to all of the films and supporting materials that they have available. We watched movies and searched through their reference materials, then walked around the museum.

Later, we took the Metro up to see Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle, then walked around the Latin Quarter and got Crepes and Orangina. Popped into the Saint- Severin church (amazing) and took a long walk along the Seine and got to see a great view of the back of Notre Dame.

Looks like this is the best internet connection we can find for now, so I probably won't be able to post any photos or video until I get back home.
