Paris #4 - Montmartre



Leelee's Marilyn Moment, in front of the Moulin Rouge

Our last full day in Paris :( We will miss it but look forward to the comforts of home!

Today we visited Montmartre. The only thing I knew about Montmartre is that Amelie was from there in the movie 'Amelie'. I was never really interested in visiting, but I figured I better see something I had not already seen, so we went, and loved it! It was a really cute section of Paris, and the highest point in Paris at Sacre Coeur - 420 feet. Besides the rash of tourists at Sacre Coeur, Montmartre was filled with cute streets and artists filling the main little square called Place Du Tertre.

So, I packed 3 outfits for our trip and I have ended up wearing two of them the entire time. (Again, that laundry machine sure did come in handy!) Meanwhile, Dae's jeans were looking suspiciously familiar, so I asked him if he wore the same jeans every day this trip. He said yes. Which means we are well on our way to the Robertson-Bian method of packing: One carry-on bag for the entire family of 4 on an international vacation!!!


A majority of our trip
