Montmartre

The wikipedia description starts off "Montmartre is a hill". Very accurate, as usual.

It also happens to be a really cool area to explore. More tiring than others, can't really bike up and down the stairs, but definitely worth it.

Tristan Tzara's home designed by Loos is also located here.



And some no namer houses...


But people are probably more familiar with the area as the setting for Moulin Rouge and also the Sacre Coeur.

I visited the basilica in the evening/night as the doors are open till 11pm. Not many people were there, few tourists, a peaceful meditative space, the way a church should be. Not to mention, beautiful.

(I think this is the first photo I've taken where the sky has color. So many grey weekends.)
