We spent the morning and mid-afternoon enjoying a long walk through Paris’ Monmarte district. This area has an extensive history as an artist’s colony, housing Renoir, Picasso, and many others over the decades. The highest point in Paris, around 400 feet, is in this district, topped by the famous Sacre Couer cathedral. This is a beautiful and vibrant cathedral, highlighted with an extensive mosaic in the center dome full of characters and bright colors. You'll see in the pictures below that Carolyn enjoyed wearing an artist's berret that she found in one of the shops. Evelyn was happy to find new Crocs with Paris landmarks attached as the bling :)
We had a great lunch of omlettes and crepes at the same café that my mom visited during her visit with dad in March.
After some time in the park, Matt and the girls hit the markets and came home with great provisions to cook at the apartment. The girls were great chef assistants to Matt and we all enjoyed a great dinner: pasta with sausage, baguette with cheese and priosciotto, roasted potatoes and fruit. Yum!
