Sacre Coeur In Montmartre (2010-12-04)
Walking toward Sacre Coeur
The metro is conveniently located
A cafe
Typical souvenir street
This must be for tourists
More souvenir shops
You need good walking shoes in Montmartre, there are ascents everywhere
I'll talk about this bright colorful shop in a later post
The souvenirs are pretty inexpensive
Lots of tourists
The basilica can be seen from a distance
The merry-go-round is one of the location shots of Amelie
Climbing the steps
Looking down midway
Fountains
Getting higher
Lots of people sat on the steps to listen to the man in the center play harp. His music was so touching that he was the only street performer we tipped
Sacre Coeur in its glory
Panoramic view of the city
This performer is very dramatic
He moves like he's on stage
One can take the funiculaire (funicular) instead of climbing the steps
The cable car
Bottom entrance
Restaurant
We took the side steps down the hill
Paris is a romantic city
Back on the bus, we drove past famous Moulin Rouge
Saw quite a few Muslims women shopping there
A building in the area
