Went to Montmartre and Sacré Cœur today. Students were a little anxious because tonight's the Harry Potter Premier. I know some came back, made pizza à la Julien and ran off to the movie. Tamara, Tiff and I took the little Montmartrain tour so Tiff could take it easy. Before we left there was a fight between the driver and some kid, who ended up hitting the driver. We saw lots of famous stuff, including the oldest cabaret in Paris--Le Lapin agile (= le lapin à Gill). The original sign is in the Montmartre museum. It was a 24€ cover charge, that included one drink, but didn't open until 9, so we didn't go. Saw the oldest church in Paris, also saw where Toulouse Lautrec once lived and the Pigalle...including the Moulin Rouge.
We did go into Sacré Cœur. Had to tell people I didn't know to stop taking photos. I don't get it. They ask you not to out of respect....so let's do it anyway.
It was gorgeous!
We tried to go to "La Famille" for dinner, but they weren't open yet so we went down the street to a café. My "salade parisienne" was really only a chef's salad, so there wasn't anything really French about it.
