The Tour - Day 3

12 July

Hanging Out in Montmartre

On our third day of our Paris tour, we took the
metro to Montmartre-a neighborhood famous for the community of artists that once lived there. We met another local expert who walked us through
the history (and the streets) of this legendary neighborhood until we reached the very top -
Sacre-coeur Basilica.

Welcome to Montmartre

There is so much to experience in Montmartre. From the Hector Guimard metro entrance, to the wall of love, to famous churches, and so much more.

More Montmartre

From la chat noir, to artistic freedom, to the flats of famous artists - we just keep taking it all in.

The Montmartre Experience

Filling our water bottles in the iconic drinking fountains was a must-do.

Explore Montmartre

We heard the story of Le Passe-Muraille (The man who walks through walls) with the ending just as we happened upon the sculpture. Bravo!

Basilica of Sacre Coeur de Montmartre

Basilica of the sacred heart has the most spectacular views. Just breathtaking.

That view!

Montmartre Lunch

Before leaving Montmartre, we had lunch at this darling (and delicious) place called Le Vrai Paris.

Cruising the Seine

Following a tour group dinner, we enjoyed an evening cruise down the Seine river.

The tour was given free time as the cruise ended. A few of us walked to the Eiffel Tower and waited for the lights to come on while reflecting on our day-marveling in disbelief at the beauty of the tower and city alike.
