Here is my last video blog from Paris…I spent some time at the Museum of the Middle Ages, my second favorite museum in Paris after the Louvre.

Here is my last segment of video from the Louvre in Paris…the interior of Philippe Auguste’s Louvre…sadly it is too dark to see much, but you can see some beautiful capitals and stonework…

As you may have read earlier on my blog, I was fortunate enough to go to Paris last April to celebrate the sale of THE QUEEN’S PAWN. While I was there, I shot a video diary for myself and for my future readers. Here is the second entry.

Atfter visiting Notre Dame, I went to the Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette met her fate. But before it was a prison, in the time of Princess Alais and her father Louis VII, it was the Palace of the City. That palace has changed a great deal since Louis VII’s time, but I took some video of the old great hall, so you can see it. The Parisians use it an as art gallery now; the architecture is really beautiful.
