Sunday in Paris

We started the morning seeing the front of the Moulin Rouge. Sadly,no Ewan McGregor in sight. An interesting district of Paris, which I think might be more interesting in the evenings.

















We wandered through Montemartre, and the Sacre-Coeur,(the white church). I loved the area, I would spend every weekend up there if I lived in Paris. The paintings were terrific and it had a great atmosphere.



 






















  











Nathalie's train left in the afternoon, we sadly said good bye at the train station, then headed back to the hotel for a rest, ready for a fun evening.

The receptionist at the hotel tried to get tickets for Moulin Rouge on Sunday evening, but were all sold out. However he recommended another cabaret show, and we were able to get tickets for it, at half the price. The Paradis Latin Cabaret


















The theatre was built in 1803 on orders from Napolean Bonaparte, then restored by Gustave Eiffel in 1889. A really lovely decorated building inside. The food was terrific, the wine was great, and an awesome show! We were really lucky, our table was right near the front. The seating was more spaced out that the Moulin Rouge, so we were happy we had the opportunity to see this show. After watching the show, and perhaps a bit too much wine, we were confident we could dancers too!

Back to Berlin on Monday morning. We had a fabulous weekend in Paris.
