We walked to the Eiffel Tower to catch the L'Open Tour Bus. First the green route to La Madeleine, and then the yellow route to Montmartre.
There we are - the happy tourists!
Paris in the Springtime. This was shot from aboard the bus.
We stopped at Le Musee Rodin and saw his famous "Le Penseur," the Thinker.
We saw La Mouline Rouge from the bus. It's in the seedier "lower" Montmartre, and the Sacred Heart Cathedral and the artists area are farther up.
Another perfect day weather wise. We ate lunch outside on a bench, looking up at Le Sacred Coeur.
Even farther up, behind the Cathedral, the artists paint and sell their wares in the square.
Very silly grin as I enjoy a refreshing GRAPEFRUIT glace and browse through scarves. French women love scarves and they are sold on the street everywhere.
By the time we came down from Montmartre we had missed the last green route, so we learned the Metro. More adventures.
It's true. J'adore Paris.
Love it, love it, LOVE IT! And I love you both too. Hmmm... April in Paris, what an sweet and lovely adventure. Plus - thanks for getting the minis!
