Wednesday 5th July, 2023.

Both the morning and the afternoon were spent strolling around the Montmartre area in different directions. Whilst the morning started out a little on the cool side by the time the afternoon rolled around the sun had started to shine. We passed plenty of pretty shop fronts, colourful cafes, fluffy cats, weird and wonderful shops, sex shops, plenty of artists, iconic parisian architecture, aromatic patisserie’s and of course the iconic Moulin Rouge. The aroma from the various patisserie’s we passed was very very tempting indeed. How do French Women stay so slim? All those pretty coloured Macarons and pastries that look like little works of art in themselves. I may just have to try one or two more before we leave.

The Iconic Moulin Rouge.
A Macaron anyone?
My favourite style of buildings in Paris.

We found a friend.
Groovy shop front.
Colourful Cafe.

The crowds up around the top of Montmartre where all the artists are definitely wasn’t as hectic as it was last Friday when we arrived. We were actually able to wander around and admire the artwork and clever artists who were painting and sketching portraits of the tourists.

The Sacre Couer.
Portrait Artists.
Some really lovely art.
Still busy but not as hectic.
More colour.
An unusually quiet corner.

The Montmartre area is our favourite arrondissment. We love just wandering around and people watching and of course tasting pretty macarons!
