I forgot to mention Montemarte and the beautiful Sacre Coeur Church with
the art colony right behind it. You can take an escalator up to the top of
Montmarte, and walk down through the interesting streets. You get a
beautiful view of Paris from the top. Believe it or not, the metro is a
great way to get around. The second time I found it easier to use the
metro system. Funny story..........there is a beautiful restaurant
directly across the bridge from Notre Dame. In fact, if you get a window
seat at this restaurant, you can see Notre Dame clearly. That particular
day they had the waiter races where they carry trays with wine and food and
see who gets to the finish line first. The restaurant was extremely fancy
and pricey. I asked for a dry wine, and they brought me a tome. I felt
dumb, as I did not know where to start. I just said I will let you choose
a good dry red wine. There were pictures of celebrities downstairs such as
Sean Connery that had eaten there, and while it cost me $100. American
dollars for the meal, it certainly was memorable. Elaine
