    Day 40 and 41

    September 30, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Day 40 - didnt quite get through the 14 km of artwork in the Lourve - the place is massive. Got the highlights with the guide though. It took 3 centuries to build.

    Photos 1 and 2 - Lourve
    Photo 3 - biggest painting - The Wedding at Cana - 7 square metres
    Photo 4 - the guide believes some of the inspitation for the Nike "tick" came from this statue
    Photo 5 - John with the statue, Diane de Versailles
    Photo 6 - difficult to get close to this one with the crowds

    We then went on a dinner cruise on the Seine River.

    Day 41 - Managed to navigate two trains to Montmarte. It is known for its artistic history and Basilica of Sacre Coure. We took the Petit train around the area and then the funicular (cable car) to the bottom of the Basilica.
