Europe 2005 - Montmartre / Place du Tertre
Back to Paris Trip 2005
Montmartre - what a great mix of artists, tourists, bohemians and anyone else
who has even the slightest bit of curiosity!  Walking up (or taking the
funiculaire up) to the
Sacre Coeur opens you up to wondrous delights: a
gorgeous church with incredible stained glass windows as well as a marvelous
panoramic view of the city below.  Rounding to the back side of the
Sacre
Coeur allows you to discover some fun shops - some touristy, yes, but others
filled with amazing things.  Mom and I had trouble staying within budget in this
part of town especially when we wandered the
Place du Tertre.  It's a fun place to
peruse the various wares on sale by a plethora of artists.  Mom took it upon
herself to do a bit of Christmas shopping this day!
