Sunday at Sacré Coeur
Apparently Montmartre is one of the most visited places in Paris (after the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre of course). I would speculate that Amelie may have something to do with that… I know I hadn’t heard of the area before I saw the movie. Today it seemed like every tourist in Paris had woken up with the same idea.
After a wander through the admittedly picturesque back streets, we puffed up the hill to Sacre Coeur.
We admired the slightly smoggy view of greater Paris and then walked down the 235 steps to the Metro Anvers.
Along the way we congratulated ourselves on picking an alternative route to the summit, and laughed at the gullible tourists who had been caught by the string men.

I will miss the beautiful twilight hour in Europe…
