I always wanted to visit Pierre Lachese. The cemetery that is the last place for a lot of famous people. The most known, Jim Morison but also Modeliani and Pissarro, Chopin, Edit Piaf, Yves Mountain and many others. The graves are either very simple or big monuments and there are Christians and Jews and probably others buried in the same place. The boys decided not to join this fun activity and since it is the last day we went along with this. Peter and Marica met us there and we walked along. The weather was a bit rainy.

After the visit we went home to take the boys for the second half of the day - visiting the Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. We also ate a quick lunch (we need to clean the fridge) and took the metro to Montmartre. The area is full of Africans selling bags and some other stuff. The church is on the top of the hill. Since we are already trained to climb this was not an issue for us. The children chose the direct way through the grass - no stairs- and we stopped a little after each level. The view is indeed wonderful and the clouds moved a little so we saw all Paris.
Behind the church, there are small streets with a lot of stores selling presents from Paris. We bought some and also icecream and coffee. There were a lot of portrait painters but we skipped this attraction. We went down a lot of stairs and got to a metro station, where we went down additional number of stairs. We were supposed to change trains at Madeline and since we were never there and we had time we went out to see it. Very strange church, in the form of a pantheon. Napoleon built it similar to Roman buildings as he did several times. We didn't get into it but walked on the royal avenue, packed with fashion shops till Concord square. There we split off from Marica, they went home and we did as well.
The packing went quite quick and we also prepared dinner for the children. At last we decided to go out alone. There are several restaurants just below the house. We chose the Spanish one, with paella and sangria. It was not great and both of us had some stomach ache the next day :(
