Today I decided I would just wander through different neighborhoods and eventually make it up to the Montmarte neighborhood and Sacre Coeur.
I needed to fuel my engine before I started this walk so I decided to check out what many people consider the best croissant in Paris.
As I walked by Notre Dame on my way up the hill to Sacre Coeur I noticed these Camino markings on the pavement.
As I was walking through the Montmarte neighborhood I noticed that the Church of Saint John was ringing the eleven o’clock bell calling the people in the parish to attend Mass.
I liked the idea of attending Mass at a neighborhood church so I joined the congregants as they streamed into the church.
The music for the Mass was provided by the church’s massive pipe organ and everyone in the congregation enthusiastically sang every song. After Mass there was a little cake and coffee gathering. What a nice way to spend a Sunday morning.
After Mass was over I was feeling a little peckish so I decided some fresh fruit would make a nice snack.
After I ate my raspberries and rested a while I made the final climb up to Sacre Coeur.
I stood in line for 15 minutes to go through security before I could enter. Speaking of security there are heavily armed policemen and policewomen all over Paris. This is the last day of the Paralympics and that might be the reason for the aggressive police presence. We’ll see if that changes tomorrow.
After I walked back to my hotel I took a little nap before dinner.
That’s it for today from Paris. I hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are.
