Visits to the Montmartre area, dinner at Bofinger, and the Musee Rodin have been the highlights of our last two days.Yesterday we navigated the efficient Metro to Montmartre.
The Sacre Coeur is always fantastic and no matter what the day, there always appears to be an abundance of visitors. It is such an interesting area. Following the Sacre Coeur, we strolled down to the Boulevard de Clichy, past the Moulin Rouge and around the corner to the Montmartre Cemetery.
It rained ! The first rain we have experienced in Paris. Although our visit to the cemetery was cut short, the rain was refreshing and access to the single shared umbrella challenging.
In the evening, after a walk around around the Marais, we dined at Bofinger. What a fantastic establishment ! Anyone contemplating a meal in Paris has to eat here. Just to sit and watch the staff at work, let alone consume the fantastic food; staggeringly good service and food to match - a feast for all senses.
Today we went to the Musee Rodin; had a wonderful afternoon exploring the collection and the gardens. It is astounding how someone can be so prolific in the production of their craft - the collection is so good, as are the stories of controversy surrounding Rodin's work ! And the gardens were a revelation.
Tomorrow...the Louvre...oh well !
