Day 2

Just back from our Montmartre tour which was fab. Our guide was well informed and interesting. Saw  the studio where Picasso worked, the home of the past French President's mistress, lots of gorgeous streets and delicious food shops. OMG I wish I could just keep eating. I love the food here. We ended up at Sacre Couer which was apparently built in 1861 to bring all the revolutionaries back to conformity and back to control and order of the state obviously controlled by the church. Guess that didn't work. We got a delicious baguette and pastry for lunch and sat in a gorgeous little park to eat. 

Yes that is 2 pastries but we only had 1/2each!!
