This Sunday was spent in
Montmartre, a former artist haven, and place of
debravity which was famous for Can Can dance halls (
Moulin Rouge), and bordellos. Atop the
Montmartre butte (hill) sits
Sacre Coeur, an impressive looking, domed basilica. The walk down the switchbacks from
Sacre Coeur, take the crowds of tourists, through narrow cobbled stone streets, filled with cafes, street artists, marvelous views of the city and even a small vineyard. We totally lucked out on the weather and spent the lovely balmy afternoon outside, enjoying the village atmosphere.
We start our
journey at the top of
Montmartre in front of
Sacre Coeur Basilica.
Ru & P sit on the steps of
Sacre Coeur, enjoying the view of Paris and listening to a heavily accented street performer, sing Allison
Krauss.
P waits for her Dad to pay the for the yummy crepes, we just ate on a patio in
Montmartre.
D joins her.
