First Day Out

Today we started with a look around the streets near us, locating the Paris Opera and the huge La Madelaine church.  We saw a poster advertising a free concert that evening, so decided to return to attend it later.  We spent the day getting the feel of our area, wandering down to Rue de Rivoli near to the Seine, then back through the nearly empty Place Vendome, and back to La Madelaine for the concert, which was very good.  It took me a while to realise we were listening to a touring American choir, rather than a french one as I had assumed.  I did wonder why they were singing in English...
