So Dark The Con Of Man

Le Grande Finale

I Apologize, both the title and subtitle of this blog are deceiving. For those of you who are familiar with the movie/novel the Da Vinci Code you will recognize the title and the reason for it. The subtitle is just e trying to be clever, today was my last day in Paris but there was nothing grand about it, i kept it simple today. 


I am actually glad i got all the major stuff done in the beginning because i am le tired.My first and only real goal today was to visit a specific church from the movie the Da Vinci Code. well actually Ron Howard was refused entry so the one in the movie was a designed replica. Never the less as a movie buff i wanted to get a glimpse of the place behind the myths. 


Not only is this church the object of some of the myth in the Da Vinci code but it also has played its part in some real life adventure in the history of France. Over the years it has hidden famous politicains and ruler on the run such as Napoleon Bonaparte himself. but anyway, back to the Da Vinci code. 


In the movie there is talk about how this church is part of a cult called the Priory of Sion and that the Key to the Holy Grail was hidden in one of the tiles by the Obelisk. If you want to learn more its really quite fascinating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Sulpice,_Paris). Its not like the Da Vinci code makes me question what the church is saying, but it does lead me to wonder what they could be hiding. why is there so much secrecy? Why are many of these old cathedrals shrouded in so much Mystery. The Catholic Church wasnt always on the up and up, and there is usually some morsel of truth hidden within some of these myths. Thats just the conspiracy theorist in me talking, take it how you will. The Cathedral was pretty sweet, second largest in Paris next to Notre Dame.

Lunch was pretty cool, I have been trying to search for a pretty legit French cafe to dine in and i finally found a great one! Cafe Du Metro was founded in 1920, that means its 90 years old which is pretty cool in and of itself. It served quite a few traditional French dishes including that one where the ground beef is raw, i forget the name. I wasn't quite that adventurous. The coolest part of the cafe was that the food came up from the kitchen on a little elevator, it was pretty wicked to watch.


For the rest of the day I just walked around different parts of town, i have completed everything i wanted to do and although there was a few things left i could have done i just took it easy. Leg two of the journey completes tomorrow as i head out of Paris. Whats next you say? Well im glad you asked. I am renting a car and driving around France into Spain and Portugal. Sadly internet access may be hard to find somedays, but i will still write every day and upload them when i can. So my friends, stay tuned for more European adventures. There are exciting French Landmarks that i will be visiting that most of you may not have heard of. Trust me its gonna be good.
