Paris 2

The Stravinsky fountain, outside the Pompidou Centre

The Sacred Coeur, on the hill in the distance - taken from the Pompidou


We climbed to the roof of the Sacred Coeur in Montmartre for a great view over the city, including the Eiffel Tower ...
Edie: "We walked to the Sacred Coeur, a famous old building that is a church. It has a view nearly as good as the Eiffel Tower! There were steps everywhere (300!) and we had to go up every one of them. I sped up most of them!"
 
Montmatre

Statue near our apartment which honoured Marcel Ayme, a Montmartre resident. His best-known work was 'The man who could walk through walls.'

Rue Tholoze, overlooked by the Moulin de la Galette - a club Renoir and Van Gogh had frequented


Della tries an escargot at Le Petit Parisien on Rue Tholoze. She got it down, but didn't go back for more ...

  1. Brave Della! I'm afraid I couldn't think about eating escargot! To me they are just snails. xox

    1. I was pretty amazed, Mum. Edie ate half a snail, too. I couldn't even go at a nibble!
