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 !
  • Plaq for hot chocolate
  • Hot chocolate

I hope you enjoyed the photos of Paris!
