• Tour of Monmartre

    August 31, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    After lunch, we decided that we still had time and energy for another VoiceMap tour and went to explore Montmartre, with the same guide that we quite liked. We really liked to learn different stories and tales about this Bohemian areas, including the one about the man who could walk through walls, and eventually got stuck in one wall. This was commemorated in a cool statue. We walked through narrow streets, small parks, and eventually came to a large church with the famous steps of Montmartre hill. We then went back home, for dinner at a small modern Vietnamese place, where we had delicious chicken pho, duck dumplings and tofu marinated for 8 hours and topped with hazelnuts. In the evening, we went to a milonga, but had a funny adventure. Apparently we miscommunicated and went to the address that was located in a different area of Paris, as there are two of exactly same street, and it’s not a Main Street 🤣. Getting to the right address would take another hour and it was already quite late, so we decided to go to a very small milonga in a cafe very close to our hotel, and it ended up being a wonderful surprise - very small intimate cafe with just a few couples dancing, very Belle Epoque vibe. We had such a magical evening that I sadly forgot to take any fotos!Read more
