supplemented with some of Jiekai's pictures in lieu of mine, which have been lost for eternity due to his cockitude

Unfortunately, Jiekai's guidebook listed the wrong opening time for the Pantheon, so we detoured to Notre Dame first.
There was a long line of students outside St Genevieve's library, half the length of the Pantheon. This was very sad.
