Touristic Paris

Tony came to town. Which means I had to do things... touristy things. Ick.

I am, of course, kidding. It was a blast--and we saw so much. (By foot.)


We started at the Sacre Coeur...


...which we climbed...

...and climbed...

...and climbed...

300 steps to the top. (And 300 back down.)


Then we strolled around Montmartre...




Then we found ourselves walking through the bird markets to Notre Dame...


...and below...

We walked all over Paris, from the Louvre...


...through the artist's market and Montparnasse...



Other highlights included climbing the Eiffel Tower (mostly by stairs)...






(*Do you see the hot air balloon?!)

...and the walk through the Jardin du Luxembourg...





All in all, having walked from there...
(*The Sacre Coeur, taken from the Eiffel Tower*)

...past there...

...I know my ass and feet are going to be really, really sore tomorrow.

I feel like I've just had a hot-air-balloon trip across Paris thanks to your photos. Not at all hard on the feet! Thank you. (Hopped here via French Politics blog).
