Ladee's Travels

It is worth the quick trip from the middle of Paris via the Metro to the area north called "Montmartre". There is so much to see, and such a wide variety of sights. The street leading from the Metro station is filled with shops and cafes The glowing whiteness of Sacre Coeur becons you to the top of the hill. And once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of Paris. But wait, there's more! A short walk takes you to the center of an open plaza filled with restaurants and artists. A singer greets you with her vibrant song. (Enjoy Arlette's singing on this post.)   The cafes call to you as you see plate after plate carried to the patrons sitting under the canopies. Now it is time to find the perfect painting to take home. How can you choose? The flowers had such a vibrant color. The landscapes, done in shades of a color, draw your eye from across the street. Ohhh, and look at the store front paintings on the left. So classy! These paint...

The story of the blizzard is told in the post just prior to this one, but I wanted to show you more photos of what it was like before and after the "wish candle" that was lit inside of Sacre Coeur. We are at street level looking up at the basilica.
