Sacre Cour

Missed out yesterday so I will have to double up today. After 3 perfect days weather wise we struck showers on day 4. We set off the Montmartre district to take in the Basilica Sacre Cour and wander about this old section of Paris which used to be the hangout of artists, bohemians and communards. We got to the basilica which is to the north on the highest part of Paris and a glorious site, but as we started out to wend our way back down through the district, the showers came down. Luckily we made it to the Musee de Montmartre and Renoir's Garden which easily filled in a couple of hours. Between the bohemians, the artists the cabarets and the failed exploits of the communards, the area enough colourful history for a whole country. By the time we had finished at the museum the showers had finished and we wandered back home.
The highlight for the evening was a classical concert in Eglisse Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis one of the many old churches scattered the place.Read more
