Bonjour de Paris! Today we went to Sacre Coeur and spent the day in Montmartre. The walk up to Sacre Coeur was beautiful, and the view from the top was even more beautiful. Once we got to the top, we were able to look out on the city and see a lot of the sights that I've seen in the past few days. After going to Sacre Coeur, we spent the day walking around Montmartre. It is gorgeous there, and the art scene is strong... there were offers for a portrait left and right :) Montmartre is my favorite place thus far. It has a laid-back atmosphere and it's easy to spend the day milling around the old streets. I think I could spend every day there.
After going to Montmartre, I took my first visit to Le Tour Eiffel. I've been seeing a lot of it in the distance, but today was the first time I had ever been able to see it up close... it was truly amazing! :)
There is always so much to say about everyday... and I have missed a few. Since the last post I have visited Le Boulevard St. Michel, about a million churches (which I love), I've seen Les Champs Elysée, and lots of parks and fountains.
The top left photo is in Montmartre... just some random musicians singing an American rock song - there is a lot of American influence in the music here. Kind of interesting. The top right photo is of me in front of a monument dedicated to peace. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the background! :) The bottom photo is with my host sister, Aurélie when we were in Montmartre.
Until the next post, au revoir.
