We took the Chunnel— it was a 2-hour trip. It left from London St. Pancras Station and ran to Paris Gare Du Nord. We stayed near the Odeon stop on the Metro in the 6th arrondissement. Wikipedia:
The 6th arrondissement of Paris is one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of Paris, France. It includes world famous educational institutions such as the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Académie française, the seat of the French Senate as well as a concentration of some of Paris’s most famous monuments such as Saint-Germain Abbey and square, St. Sulpice Church and square, thePont des Arts and the Jardins du Luxembourg.
Situated on the left bank of the River Seine, this central arrondissement which includes the historic districts of Saint-Germain-des-Prés(surrounding the Abbey founded in the 6th century) and Luxembourg (surrounding the Palace and its Gardens) has played a major role throughout Paris history and is well known for its café culture and the revolutionary intellectualism (see: Existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre,Simone de Beauvoir) and literature (see: Paul Éluard, Boris Vian, Albert Camus, Françoise Sagan) it has hosted.
Then we went on a Seine River Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Cruise in Paris. Got on at Notre Dame and off at the Louvre. It took some pics of the cathedral from across the river, and it was an amazingly beautiful day.

So I made a file:
And I put it in a set of other sound files:
Here’s my personal documentary for our day:
