Rainy Afternoon in Montmartre

I was thrilled to include a visit up to Montmartre on my day trip to Paris - I really love Montmartre for its cobbled streets and quirky shops and of course the Place du Tertre and its artists.
Les toits de Paris - the roofs of Paris

View over Paris from Montmartre
The Sacre Coeur
A lovely water fountain - there are only 2 like this and the other is in London 
at The Wallace Collection no less!

The Place du Tertre

The Artists Quarter - not ideal on a rainy day!
Lovely paintings sheltered from the rain.

What is an artist to do in the rain?  
Play chess behind his easel of course!

I really found this a striking piece.
My favourite bistro's onion soup - the best in Paris I reckon!

      Oh yes this soup is divine! I make my own to look just like this! LOTS of Gruyere cheese gets piled on top and grilled and nothing beats the flavour of that cheese with the caramelised soft onion yum!! Happy Days hey?! SAx

    Do you remember which bistro you were at and enjoyed this soup? Looks so good and I'd love to try it.

    Hi Adriana - sure I do! I go EVERY time I visit Paris:-
    Restaurant Le Durer, Rue Yvonne le Tac, Montmartre, Paris - just exit the Metro at Abesses and bear left at the top of the stairs head left and down and Rue Yvonne le Tac is right there in front of you, the restaurant is just along on the right hand side. It's fairly cheap and cheerful but the onion soup is the best I have found anywhere. ENJOY! SA:-)
