Sacré Cœur

After our gourmet lunch, we headed to Montmartre and the beautiful Sacré Cœur basilica for some great views of Paris. The fellowettes got the joy of traveling in the Paris Métro and enjoyed some wonderful live music in the halls of the Métro on our way to our destination.

 

Here are Rachel and Laura with the street vendor selling roasted chestnuts. We bought a package so we could try them. Miam!

 

The fellowettes climbed the stairs all the way to the basicila (Madame road the funiculaire).

 

One of the nicest things about finally reaching the top of Montmartre, aside from the beautiful basilica and the amazing views, is the living street art! This wonderful man from Romania performed for us!

 

See what a great view of Paris! (And the felowettes look nice, too.)

 

The felllowettes made the climb all the way to the top if the spires of Sacré Cœur. Ouf! Tiring as it was, the experience will be unforgettable.

Here Charissa hams it up for the camera.

 

At this point, the fellowettes are at one of the highest points in Paris, second only to the Eiffel Tower.

 

Lexi is stunning with a dizzying view of the area of Montmartre below.

 

Que la ville de Paris est belle!

 

Mission accomplie!

 

Remember those chestnuts we bought earlier? We used them to feed the pigeons on the steps of Sacré Cœur after the fellowettes made their way back down to earth.
