Montmatre, je t'aime.



Montmarte!

I love this neighborhood. It's the highest point in Paris, and the most lovely...in the quiet areas. It attracts beaucoup de tourists because of Le Cathédral Sacre Cœur at the very peak to the steps of Montmatre.

I love it for it's quiet and indescribably quaint sections. I mean, yes, it may be one of the most, if not the most, expensive neighborhoods in Paris, but all I want is to live there. Everyone does, that's why it's so expensive.

But prices aside, I spend last night in Montmarte on a tour with our group. I got to see a lot of where Amelie was filmed, which made me giddy to say the least. After the tour, we all spilt up and went to get dinner. I ended up with my first Cosmopolitan. I loved the girls I went to dinner with--I spent time with them tonight too. Like BFF?

After dinner, we went to a bar and got beers from the most handsome bartender. I tried to tip him to steal his heart monetarily, but alas, tips aren't accepted here, and he refused to take it. My advances turned into an awkward financial dispute.

We met a bunch of French guys on "holiday" who refused to speak French to us, because they wanted to practice their English. Conundrum.


Today and tonight were wonderful as usual. I woke up early to go to H&M and shop a bit before an internship meeting, then a bunch of us went to Notre Dame and got ice cream. Nom.
After that, Becca, Evangeline, Kate and I went shopping for dinner food and wine. You can find good wine at any grocery store chain for about 3 euro. Parfait!

We all got together and shared appetizery food and wine until midnight. I love them gals : )

Bonne nuit mes amis. Vous me manquez!
