We took the subway to Montmartre, which is an old village that is now part of Paris.

One of famous Art Nouveau subway stops, this is the one for Montmartre

We did a walking tour – Iris was our guide; I would suggest this tour – you can go here to learn about it.

he showed us where Van Gogh lived with his brother Theo for two years, Picasso’s first studio, and a wonderful sculpture of a man emerging from a wall, based upon a famous French short story.

This is a statue of St. Denis, always shown holding his head after it was cut off

This is the statue of the man that could walk through walls

Moulin means windmill - this is the last windmill that actually worked in Montmartre. This was used to grind grain and eventually overlooked a famous, now lost dance hall

We saw the last vinyard in Montmartre – the wine is a souvenir wine; “drink one, piss four.” The tour ended at Sacre Coure – there is a large mosaic over the alter. It was so cold I put on my muffler.

We had lunch at Cafe la Boheme du Tertre. I had a camembert sandwich that reminded me of Cannes.

We went inside St. Pierre, which was completed before Notre Dame was started; its now a Greek Orthodox church. We saw the Dali museum; there were a number of prints, watercolors and sculptures.

We took the ride down the hill (Montmartre is over 400 ft. above sea level, the highest point in Paris) – you can use your subway pass to gain entrance.
