Today we visited two places I like most in Paris - Montmartre and Père-Lachaise cemetary. Montmartre is just marvelous. Although it is very touristic nowadays, you can still feel the spirit of the past Boheme. Dali, Mondrian, Picasso, van Gogh - all of them lived and painted at Montmartre. The Sacré Cœur Basilica majestically reigns over Paris - being the prettiest in whole city, with its white stone and beautiful mosaics inside. Narrow streets, cafes, art galleries, various museums... And you don't need to wander off far to leave the noisy tourists behind your back and find yourself at the heart of Paris. Truly remarkable place.
After having a cup of coffee and grabbing a crêpe, we headed down from Montmartre - to Moulin Rouge and the red district.
The last plan for today was Père-Lachaise cementary. We visited this place 5 years ago and were enchanted by its grave and deep atmosphere so Radek insisted to see it again. I was too tired, so I stayed in a cafe while the other three went for a walk past the forgotten tombs and family vaults.
