Paris - Monmartre

I spent a couple of days in Milan between La Spezia and Paris, but I mostly slept, so there isn't much to share.  It was hot there, over 90, with high humidity, so even the shopping wasn't much fun with that weather.  It was nice to get to Paris, where it was a bit cooler.

My first day in Paris I wandered the area I was staying in, Montmartre.  I rented an apartment through airbnb.com.  It was a great location.  It was close to things, but still on a very quiet street.  I was a little worried about the area being safe, but it was fine. 

I loved the village of Montmarte.  It's known for the Moulin Rouge and being the bohemian district and I felt right at home there.  There were great artists and shops everywhere.  I went to a museum that is in the house a lot of the bohemian artists from the 1920s lived in, which was cool. 





I think I could stay in Montmartre forever. :)
