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.

She 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.

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.
