Paris – May 2025 – Part 6

We went to see the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre which you can walk up 197 steps or take a funicular. We decided to take the funicular up to the top and then walk down. It was built between 1875 to 1919.

I like churches, I love the architecture and the history, even though we are not church people. It is a whole different neighbourhood at the top and we spent some time walking around and then back down the stairs to find a spot for lunch.

Church
There were lots of people and yes, tickets were required
Inside
I love this
We spotted this guy going for a bike ride with his Mom
Down and down some more
Interesting sculptures on a wall as we were headed down the stairs
Lots of cute spots to stop for lunch or drinks

This is my last post on Paris, until much later in our trip! So I will finish with some miscellaneous photos. Our next Tour starts soon and we were off to Burgundy.

I did want to mention, there are so many cafes, restaurants, bakeries in the city you will never go thirsty or hungry! Clint had read about a place called Plaq which apparently makes the best hot chocolate ever. I am here to tell you….they do not. I had one sip and that was that !

Green Chartreuse a rather horrible and yet famous? drink in Paris served with biscuits
Shakespeare and Company book store
Outdoor market near the Eiffel Tower
I do love a cute restaurant cat !
