The beginning of the end

The weather has finally come right for the end of our French sojourn. It was 23 degrees and sunny for our visit to Montmartre and Sacre Couer.

It was a bit of a hike up the hill, but worth the effort for the views - I think we have seen the Eiffel Tower from every which direction now. The Sacre Couer was beautiful - so much more understated than most of the other cathedrals we have seen.

Sadly, photos were prohibited inside, so nothing to preserve the memories.  Nice day out though.  We followed a Frommer's recommended walking route which took us to another cute little church, a very, very old cemetery and the Moulin Rouge.

But wait there's more!  We saw not one but two film shoots.  The first was behind the cemetery and looked like a French CSI.  The poor actor playing the corpse had to play dead for a very long time!  I don't know what the other film was, but it was set outside the Moulin Rouge.  Something a bit different!

Off to dinner tonight on a boat cruising the River Seine - special treat for the end of this part of our holiday.
