Higher semester seniors will not be joining us for the journey as they are going to their case study
location. So, here start our route! First, we are going to Notre Dame Church de Paris. 
Autumn leaves can be seen all the way during our journey
 

 
We had a chance to look at all of these interesting building during our way to Notre Dame Church. These building normally have a lot of details decoration at facade and most their railing is in ornament design. The architectural styles of these buildings are totally different from Malaysia which is more to the style of Romanesque and Baroque. One word conclusion: fascinating!  
Facade of Notre Dame Church
This is the most amazing church that I have ever seen! This huge facade actually took me few minutes to view because the detailing are so fine and small!
Gargoyles as a guard statue

The Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris is a famous example of Gothic architectural.

It's actually hot when we were waiting at the lobby of museum as it's too crowded and I guess their air conditioning system is not functioning well..... = =  Here's some art pieces in the museum.

The statue and carving are just fascinating!
Mona Lisa painting
The size of Mona Lisa painting is much more smaller than I expected and it has been framed up. Frankly speaking, I did not understand why is she so famous... I should do more research on this painting perhaps.

After few hours of visiting, we are heading to search for our lunch. As we know, the food here are expensive, so we just had Mcdonald...... TT

Our next stop is Pompidou Centre which is a place that display modern art.
