Paris - day 1

The last weekend we've been in Paris, so here are some pictures and experiences :)

We were flying 6:30 in the morning, so we had to woke up really soon. The flight was fast and calm. At Orly we have lost a lot of time finding out how to get to the hotel in Montmartre in the fastest way and first of all the cheapest, but nothing less then 19,20 Eur for two by public transport.

The Gare du Nord station made us think again how to find metro 4. At Barbes station I was a bit scared, it did not look really friendly. After a few minutes with a map in my hands a man asked if he could help with the destination, and he helped :) The hotel personnel was helpful, they were great. After this we went to find Sacre Coeur as we knew it is very close.





Be careful with the black people trying to force you to buy some strings for too much money, don't give your hand :)

Next we looked for the square of painters, a small idyllic place, fortunately there were not too much tourists. The place is nice but the tourism and business kills the art feeling.



Next we went to see Moulin Rouge, to tell the truth, it's in the end of a redlight street and it's really nothing special. As it was still light and we wanted to see it in dark, we visited a cemetery at the corner.
