Sainte-Chapelle: We had been waiting for a sunny morning to come here and it was SO worth it. The stained glass in the chapel is breathtaking. It might be the prettiest chapel I've seen in Paris so far. The designs in the glass were very intricate and impressive. I could have stayed in there for hours just watching how the designs changed as the sun moved!
Monmartre: After Sainte-Chapelle we took the metro up to Monmartre and walked up the hill to Sacre Coeur. This neighborhood is SO cute! You walk up windy cobblestone streets and pass lots of cute little houses and shops until you get to a bustling neighborhood in a square just below Sacre Coeur. There are tons of artists sitting outside and painting in the square. They'll even do a really nice portrait for you if you want! They're work was beautiful and I was so tempted to buy one but they were $$$... maybe some day. There are also lots of cafés and benches surrounding the square so it's a great place to relax and watch the artists work. (And get some gelato!) We also stopped in to an art gallery on the square who's name I forgot but they low key had some really famous artists' work in there like Dali and Rubenstein!
La Maison Rose: Natalie, Liv, and I got lunch at this adorable café at the top of Monmartre. It was a beautiful sunny day as we sat outside with our duck salads (and french fries) listening to a man play guitar and sing just across the street. It felt like we were in the South of France for lunch!
Sacre Coeur: This church is at the top of Monmartre and looks out over all of Paris. The view was really cool and definitely worth the trek. However, we couldn't see the eiffel tower from there which was a bit of a bummer. I'm sure you could see it if you went to the top of the church but we didn't want to wait in line to climb (oops). This church is also beautiful and has fantastic domed ceilings.
Tournebride: We went here for dinner that night with a few friends and it was perfect for us! Nice café on a cool back street so we sat outside. I got the salmon which was delicious and not too pricy. The waiter was very sarcastic which was funny at first but then just kind of awkward. Then went to Le Mix because Nuba was a bust.
Moulin Rouge: Forgot to mention that we walked by this. Red light district is interesting. But hey I got a photo.
