We took the subway to Montmartre, which is an old village that is now part of Paris.<\/p>\n

\n

\"One<\/a>

One of famous Art Nouveau subway stops, this is the one for Montmartre<\/p><\/div>\n

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

\"Ticket<\/a>

Ticket for our walking tour<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

\"This<\/a>

This is a statue of St. Denis, always shown holding his head after it was cut off<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is the statue of the man that could walk through walls<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Moulin<\/a>

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<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We had lunch at Cafe la Boheme du Tertre. I had a camembert sandwich that reminded me of Cannes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Ticket<\/a>

Ticket for the Dali Museum<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
