Lucky with the weather again today so off into Paris again on the train. First stop was the Moulin Rouge (bit of a disappointment but we were warned) we couldn't believe the amount of sex shops in the area and after looking in 10 of them we thought we should move on!!!!!!!!!! From there we walked up to Sacre Cœur via Montmartre with its quaint streets and artists. Paid to go in The Crypt (waste of time) and then 300 steps up to the dome. Amazed at the amount of graffiti up the top of the dome! Great views and no queues (not like the Eiffel Tower). These views are still not as good as from St Paul's in London as there aren't as many landmarks to pick out. Took the Metro to the Latin quarter for a takeaway lunch that we really enjoyed at Notre Dame on the side of The Seine. Had fun seeing how many people we could get to wave to us on the many tourist boats going by (I think David will be in a few Japanese photos as they seemed to love it as much as the kids). Back on the Metro to Galeries Lafayette shopping centre to see the amazing dome building that all the designer shops were in. One whole floor was just for shoes! David just didn't know which pair of boots to pick!!!!!!! Got the Metro back to The Louvre and can came up to see the inverted pyramid. Walked back along The Seine to see the Eiffel Tower lit up again before getting on our train back to Versailles (parts of the train is illustrated with interior rooms of the palace). In the city and on our walk back to the campsite we saw many Halloweeners. Even though we used the Metro slot today we still seemed to have walked miles! It seems less tiring doing the hikes we did in Switzerland than walking around cities.
