RSSA Day in Montmartre
Dec 10
- Kath and Anna ready for a day in Montmartre
We ascend the stairway to Montmartre.
Notice the plane areas on the side of the steps. These were used to pull loaded carts up the hill.
Not there quite yet!
A leafy doorway greets us at the top of all those stairs.
Even in November the tourist flock to this square while artists stride around with palette in hand looking to pose for a picture. We resisted.
Sacre Cour
Sacre Cour, a Romano-Byzantine church was started in the 1870’s but not completed until 1914.
The horses stand guard.
We wind our way down in a more gradual descent.
I had intended to have a picture of the delightful merry-go-round but the photographer was similarly delighted by the reflections which turned out to be serendipitous.
Below Montmartre we spend time exploring the many cut rate fabric stores that line the streets. We almost lost Katherine when she discovered this cute little car but luckily she just couldn’t quite get in!
