The Montmarte area of Paris was one of my favorites. Montmarte is mostly known for the white dome of the Basilica of the Sacre Couer (Sacred Heart Church), a nightclub disctrict (Moulin Rouge) and a haven for artist such as Salvador Dalí, Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.
Today it is still a very artist oriented community. Let's stroll around Montmarte....
The Sacre Couer
Beautiful carvings above a door. See the birds and nest?
A cute bistro
Windmills ....
Pablo Picaso lived in this building, as well as other famous artists.
I love this door!
A great old door knocker.
The Moulin Rouge
Local artists, selling their paintings on a square. I didn't buy any of these. They were all Paris scenes. I waited until we were in Provence to buy a painting of the French countryside.
Next post, a Paris Flea Market....
Welcome Home,
