Day five - The wheel turns

Today we went up to Montmartre to see fun shops, artists, street musicians, have some nice crepes... And of course see sacre bleu! I mean, sacre ceour. ;)  It is hard to compare yesterday's view with today's. They are two sides of the same euro. Montmarte was one of our most touristy stops so far, but it is lovely so it is no wonder why we flock there. Then we headed down to the orangerie, whose water lilies exhibit was closed. Um, no we are not paying 12 euro unless we get the good stuff! Le petit palais? Closed. Boo. We did get to tip our hats to Winston Churchill and started down the
Champs Elysees. We were good and only window shopped. Then we watched the ceremony for the unknown solider at the arc de triumph. We were tired after that. All we do is walk walk walk...and then stop and eat pastries, and repeat. So we shopped at a local store and came home and made dinner at our apartment. Never gets old.

Yay for apartment living in magical cities! Proud of you for not shopping for anything on the Elysess. Not even a scarf? Macaroons?
