We had to walk up a lot of steps to get to it!
I thought the basilica was such a pretty display of architecture, with pure white domes and points extending into the sky. I wish it had been a nicer day. A little bit of sunshine would have done us all some good. A few of us were starting to get sick--I vividly remember feeling a sore throat coming on as we observed the foggy urban sprawl before us.
A nicer day would have also given us a better view! After appreciating the view, Gerry took us on a little tour of the area. There were lots of artists painting local sights and drawing portraits of tourists. We passed many shops, creperies, and restaurants. I stopped and had a gelato, and it was AMAZING. Soooo good!
There were a lot of cool treasures everywhere you looked. The entire area just has a hugely artistic and creative atmosphere.
We returned to Sacré Cœur and got a charming view of it from the bottom of the hill. It was very pretty and picturesque.
Next, we ventured off to find Moulin Rouge in the Red Light District of Paris, on a street lined with very provocative shops and clubs. We didn't spend too much time there, just posed for a few photos and headed back to the FIAP to rest up before dinner.
