Paris: Day 4

We finally figured out the mystery of our late waking. In Paris in the Winter, it doesn't even begin to get light outside until 8:30 am! But on our last full day in Paris, we pulled ourselves out of bed in the dark and got an early start to the day.

We took the Metro to Montmartre. Instead of climbing the steps to the Sacre-Coeur, we took the Funiculaire (kind of like a ski-lift.)



We had what would have been a lovely view of the entire city, if it hadn't been for the overcast weather. But the Sacre-Coeur was beautiful - inside and out!



We took a stroll through Montmartre, which in the spring is supposed to have magnificent gardens and ivy-covered walls. We didn't see any of that, but did stumble upon a restaurant that definitely warranted a picture.



We found the cute but touristy place du Tertre, where we visited the Espace de Salvador Dali. Mom loves Dali and the museum was amazing!



Mom loved Dali's sculptures of the Venus de Milo and I loved his women with drawers. We also found his painting and sculptures of Alice in Wonderful and of the 12 Tribes of Israel fascinating!

We treated ourselves to crepes and soup for lunch and headed back to downtown Paris, where we visited the Eiffel Tower ...



... and waited for its hourly show.



We returned home to light our Hanukkiah again.
