Montmartre

Today we (Mum and I) went to Montmartre, which is the cool, artistic(ish) area of Paris. We followed a walking guide from a guide book (not the Janet). The walking track we followed was great and we passed a lot of amazing sites, buildings, streets, etc. We stopped for lunch at a creperie, where the crepes were delicious, and then headed over to see the Sacre Coeur. I'd seen it before, of course, but I'd never made the trek to the top of the dome, through tight spiral staircases before, so we went to the top. Not surprisingly, my legs are very sore right now. The view from the top was great, all over Paris, and like yesterday, the weather was perfect for such an expedition.
After Montmartre, we went to meet Nat, Clair and Ruby for dinner at a restaurant called Chartier, which is a traditional, cheap, French establishment, which has been in operation since 1896 (I think). The food was great, and not too expensive. The waiter wrote our order on the table cloth and then wrote the cost there too as he added up the final bill. I think it would be amusing if you needed to take the receipt home to claim the cost back. If you want to see photos of the day click here.
