Bastille Day
We enjoyed some excellent weather in Paris for Bastille Day, and took the opportunity to spend most of the day outside. We had a long walk from our place up to Concorde, then jumped in the Metro and headed out to Monmartre to spend the afternoon there, since I haven't been there in years. It was absolutely packed with tourists, but no matter -- the rest of Paris was closed for the holiday, so this is where the action was.
Sacre Coeur
To say this was a little bit of a tourist trap would be an understatement. Standing room only on the stairs!
