    Double Coffee

    Posted by Gsmith 6 August 2006

    The Starbucks of the Baltics, this cafe is so much more. For those travelling on a shoe string this place provides great tasting food for very little money. The coffee itself comes in every form, either the typical black coffee or even turkish coffee. The milkshakes are great and they even give you the pot in which it was made so you end up with a double portion. Great for the greedy tourist.

    For people who dare to leave the main tourist areas, this cafe is at least a comforting landmark to regain your bearings, and if you can't find a place to eat, a guaranteed bargain.

    Sainte-Chapelle

    Posted by Gsmith 14 October 2005

    This exquisitely built chapel, contains some of the most beautiful and historically important stained glass windows in the world. Architecturally it
    gained enormous acclaim for being the first ever building to use so much glass in its structure. People expected it to collapse. yet almost a millenium later it remains one of the most grandiose establishments imaginable. As well as its own merits it gains ironic value for being placed within the police headquarters
    of Paris. Providing an interesting juxtaposition of state and church within a secular country.

    Sainte-Chapelle is extremely central, only 200m from the ile de Notre Dame on the right bank.
