day 7 : still in Paris

Once again we started off late-ish as the appointment wasn't that early. I was tempted to head for the hillside lights at Montmartre to take some photos but decided against it as that would entail heading out at about 0300-0400 hours.

the Metro once again.

Didn't realize how good this photo was until I saw it on a larger screen back in KL.

where we bought our breakfast.

the cook asked for a quality check after I took his photo. Parisians !

we did this just to see what it looked like.

that's the Malaysian flag at the top level.
distance from Paris indicated.

this little girl decided that the windows weren't clean enough

the beauty of it is that the French have turned this middle finger salute
into one of the world's most recognisable monuments

what are the odds of finding public gardens like this in the middle of KL ?

we stopped at the 1st level on the way back down.
it was less crowded which is why this photo was possible.

Paris with Montmartre the highest point in the background

we took the stairs down from the 1st level.
well worth it as we got some photos which we would have missed if we had taken the lift.

ongoing upkeep and repainting work

last view before moving on

we walked to one of the public gardens to use the Eiffel Tower in the background.

as you can see, not everybody did that.

it was hot and I was glad to be wearing the 'crocs'

there were street performers.

this particular guy was very good.

this guy was either stoned, or stone dead.
he was ignored.

can't imagine this happening in KL where people hide from the sun

the next stop was Notre Dame

famed for architecture and stained windows and a hunch back

a service started while we we there so we sat in for part of it.

took a video.

I shifted the camera upwards a little and the roof looked totally different.

After Notre Dame, we headed back to Montmartre to look for Wepler again. This time, we found it and Dream got her Duck Confit a l'Orange. The thing we didn't realize then was that Wepler was a regular meeting place for Picasso and Henry Miller and others of their ilk.

Wepler

We were headed back to England early the next morning so we walked back to the Loft. My one regret for Paris is that we did not make the additional effort to stroll along the River Seine at night. It would have been beautiful and, as Paris is for lovers, romantic.
