Montmartre

I visited Montmartre last week. I have been wanring to go because it was Montmartre where 'Amelie' was set and that happens to be one of my favorite French movies. So Montmatre is a hill but I'd like to say it was a mountain cause I climbed and climbed and it took a long while to get to the top. But once you get to the top you get to see the whole of Paris, well the North side of Paris. I went there to see Moulin Rouge, The Wall of Love and Sacre Coeur. Speaking of Moulin Rouge. I mentioned earlier I would try to see it...well that was before i found out tickets went from 150-195 Euros...*cough* Can I get a sponsor?!?! LoL.


The renowned Moulin Rouge 


To Love Is Disorder Yet We Love!
 Le Mur des Je T'Aime

I thought this was so cool. Apparently, it is filled with "I love you" written 1000 times in more 300 languages. I wasn't really able to recognize any another language but French and Dutch. They did however say that "I Love You" in Yoruba was there too but I had no idea what it translated to, to even look for it.

Mine. I was inspired  :-)

The climb up. Notice how steep the roads and stairs are. Rest assured, that was my exercise for the day.
