　　 Our　tour named “Romantische Strasse in Germany, Swiss Alps　
and　Paris for 9 days”started on June 25(Tuesday). The last
ｃourse of　of this tour is from Geneva to Lyon station in　Paris
by TGV of French Shinkansen bullet train spending 3 hours and
40 minutes.It was a hard schedule that we arrived at the hotel
almost midnight.

　 Next day early morning we left hotel for Musee du Louvre. It
was　3rd time for me to visit Louvre.I was bringing the digital
camera for the first time but we must take pictures in Louvre
without flash light.

　A day of Paris where it rained was a considerably
　serious day for me. Our tour bus visited Catheedrale
　　Notre Dame after Musee du Louvre.　It was very
　ｄifficult for me to return our departure point
　after short free time near Catheedrale. Because
　I lost a sense of direction for an instant.

　We took a lunch at a restaurant in Place de Clichy near Saint-
Lazare station in the north of Paris.I dared not drink any　wine
by thinking about the free activity from the afternoon. We will
be free　time after the lunch here although it continues to rain
and tour bus leaves.

　We are received a map of Paris sponsored by 　Takashimaya department store from the tour
　conductor this morning. She explained us the
　course to Printemps department store where
　is a shop of Takashimaya　about 15 minutes
　from the restaurant.

　I had an idea to visit Basilique du Sacre-Caur
　in Montmartre at free time after the lunch in
　Paris. I asked a waiter to show the place of this 　restaurant on the map. Monmartre is not far at
　all from here.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　I advance toward the direction in northeast 　　　　aiming at the hill of Montmartre. There was
　little traffic when entering the slope.
　When a white dome of Basilique du Sacre-
　Caur was seen on the hill, I felt relieved.
　The visitor was not in shops where
　displayed a picture and poster.

　When I set foot on the church by one step,
　a dim, wide space opened the inside. High
　ceiling and deep depth.
　There was a big cross in the front and the 　　　　　Christ that wore a white cloth had spread
　his hands to the ceiling on that greatly.

It beckons even me of the pagan who came
distantly　from the Asian country to come.
I sat down on a remote　sofa behind distantly.
People to give prayer sat down in the　seat
of the front depths surrounded with a rope.
However, there were a person who bent the
knee and sat down at the seat and a　person
who made the sign of the cross and stood
from the seat also in the seat where I was back.
I indulged in the solemn atmosphere gradually.
I came here for sightseeing but I felt pious for
some reason, I noticed it. Then I continued
sitting there for one hour. 　　　

　It rains more internser when I left Basilique du
　Sacre-Caur. The lower dry gust blows only the
　hill, too. I intended to return to the hotel once
　by taxi.

　I called out to a police in the car which
　stopped near. I complained that I had
　already waited for a taxi for 30 minutes.
　I also heard a way to an underground
　station near most.

　One taxi stopped when I gave it up and
　began to go down the slope toward the
　station. At last I run hastily to the taxi
　stand.

　One man tried to get on the taxi. I run
　up to the taxi to appeal, "I waited up
　for as much as 30 minutes". Of course
　neither a driver nor a guest know it.
　Another driver who coldly said to me
　a little while ago that it was useless,
　he intervened for me　"He was waiting
　for a long time. "
