Stroll Through Montmartre

The "I Love You" Wall.

Just wanted to share some pictures from my recent walking tour of Montmartre.  I recommend using a professional tour guide when you visit Paris.  It can be an efficient way to see more and understand more about what you are seeing!  Another useful tool is to download a walking tour on your smart phone.  You won't need wireless since it's downloaded and it's easy to haul around with you--much easier than a book when space is limited.  Jacques, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and I learned so much about Montmartre.  It was a beautiful day!
Abbesses Metro stop--one of 2 (the other is Avenue Foch) original art deco entrances.  Someone chained their shopping cart to the fence! LOL


Sacre Coeur

View of La Defense from Sacre Coeur

Gargoyle!!

Charming cafe--they have the largest geraniums here!

Vineyard in Montmartre.  Grapes will be harvested this month.

Winding street with Sacre Coeur in the background.

Marche` facade created for the movie "Amelie".  Owner decided to keep it.  One of my favorite movies!

50s era cafe also used in the movie.  Amelie herself!

The Paris landmark!  Love this movie, too!!
