We had a bit of a sleep in and a slow morning which was nice. Our bedroom in the France apartment was beautiful .... my favourite herribone wooden floors, big king size white bed and french windows looking out over a courtyard.
We made our way on foot over to Cotume, a highly recommended coffee house. We weren't disappointed. Able to get two different types of filter coffee and a nice chat to the barista. A little walk away was the metro and we hopped on to get to the Arc de Triomphe. We walked up theChamps d'Elysee and then saw the large arch. I couldn't believe how busy and chaotic that round about is!!
We caught the train to Montmarte to see the Sacre Couer seeing as the weather was so blue and beautiful. Once we'd hiked up the steep hill it was a fairly clear day so we could really look out over Paris. It's pretty flat like Perth!!
There were some food markets on just next to the church so we sat at a little pop up bar and enjoyed the crowds. I had my first crepe with lemon and sugar.
I really was quite taken with Montmarte ... it's artists in action and cobblestone paths. Todd got some fantastic footage of a man busking with an old music box that he had to wind and control with his arm. We found a restaurant called Buvette and enjoyed an afternoon drink (I had a cocktail called the Holiday - so delicious!) and we both got Croque Monsieur and Croque Madam, in our search for the best in Paris!
We declared it an almost 10/10 ... I think it was the gerkins that did it!
Back on the train and hopped off at the Louvre for a look.
Brad and Nez were keen to see the Eiffle Tower light show, so we popped up to the shops and got some picnic snacks and caught the train there.
It was pretty surreal and lovely sitting in front of the Eiffle Tower and watching the sun set, with some cheese and red wine!
We had a play with our cameras and the lights as the sun went down!
