First up, we caught the metro to Les Halles, where we walked around a route from the guide book. Les Halles is a very big food area. We walked down lots of nice alley ways, and past lots of yummy shops! We had a yummy late breakfast at a boulangerie. Then it was on to the metro to make our way out to Montmartre, a very artistic part of the city. There were so many people there! We saw the Sacré-Cœur Basilica on top of the Montmartre hill. We walked around an area with lots of artists selling paintings and other art works. We walked around for a while, then hopped on the hop-on-hop-off bus where we spent the remainder of the afternoon because our feet were so sore from all that walking! We have definitely slipped into the Parisian style of having a late dinner, we didn’t eat until about 10pm! It was another lovely and warm day today, but just when we had finished dinner, it started absolutely pouring with rain!

   This cafe has tiled pictures depicting vivid market scenes of the old Halles marketplace back in the 19th century on the walls.

 SacréCœur meaning Sacred Heart.

   There were lots of artists at Montmarte.

 A petit rue near Montemarte.

 La Pâtisserie!

   We were all rather tired when we got on the bus!

The Louvre with the famous glass Pyramid.

The Arc de Triomphe and some typical Paris traffic!
  There were lots of people running gambling games in the street. People were gambling with some big money!

 There were a few people swimming in this fountain pool near the Eiffel Tower.

  Very late dinner!
