Gretchen and I trained to the world capital of all things fine; art, fashion, food, literature and chic ideas. Both of us had visited ten years ago or so and were anxious to return to sample more French lifestyle.
Sacre-Coeur (Sacred Heart) Basilica was voted favorite trip stop.
(we visited twice)
Four hundred and twenty feet above sea level,
the highest point of Paris,
a wonderful view of what's below spreads out.
An undeniable,
fun ambiance sets up outside the church,
great people watching
and street music is abundant.
Montmarte neighborhood is touristy but a quintessential experience in the City of Light.
Sitting on top deck of the bus at the Arc de Triomphe,
we watched the amazing traffic pattern of the centerpoint of Paris.
Six roads intersect,
creating twelve exits to turn out of the rotary,
which has three or four or five lanes of traffic. (no lane lines marked)
We saw no fender benders take place during our long bus stop. (20 minutes)
Honking auto horns
and "what are you doing" looks were exchanged between drivers,
however traffic kept moving.
