Montmartre

Patrice and I have been experimenting with our new cameras, taking them out to photograph the sights of Paris. Yesterday's excursion took us to Montmartre - a neighborhood situated high on a hill in the north of Paris with a rich history and now a favorite of tourists.

It's great exercise climbing the stairs to the top of the hill.


Or you can do what we did - take the funicular.


People come up here to check out the view of Paris


Or to ride the carousel


Or to visit the Basilica of Sacre Coeur


Or to have a drawing made in the Place du Tertre.


The performance artists are much appreciated by the crowds and the photographers.
