Tuesday was our first full day in Paris. We covered a lot of territory on the metro, which we are beginning to become more comfortable using. We moved into the Montmartre district. In this area the famour artist of the early 20th century hung out. The first bohemiems. During that era, the Montmartre district was in the country. Currently there is only one small vineyard remaining surrounded by lovely french country homes. Right up my alley! In a small square, local artists sells their wares, even in the chill of the day.
We continued up the hill to the famous basilica Sacre Coeur, Sacred Heart. If you're a fan of the cult followed, "Amelie" this beautiful basilica and area of used heavily near the end of the film. Our time was short due to an arranged appointment to meet our missionary friend, "N"
We met at Notra Dame. Yes, remember Disney. Now it has a beautiful huge Christmas tree in the front square. At night it is lite with blue lights. Magnifique!
N took us to Panis Cafe, just off the Notra Dame square. We had a pot of chacolate and a pot of fue, which is a pot roast in a cast iron mini pot. The trippy part was the marrowed bones that were also included in this delicacy. (OK, I'm having trouble typing because we are chatting and laughing around our breakfast table)
We ended our day at N and A's house planning tonights women's ministry kickoff. We'll spend most of this afternoon getting ready after our quiet time at Luxemberg Garden.
Au Revoir

Danielle, Tracking your journey via Diane's e-mails and your blog. I have to admit, I am feeling a little envious. I can only imagine how beautiful Paris is with the snow and the Christmas decorations. Glad to hear your "California" party was a success. I will be praying for all of you ladies including the ones you have touched in this ministry. Love you sister, Shelly
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sounds like you didn't make it to Pere Lachaise... Morrison is no big deal. The other sites, the whole cemetery is fascinating and beautiful.
