Day 4
12°, cloudy most of the day, clear at night.
More work and a trip to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and the Temple de la Sibylle on top of that hill.
From the park, Lily & I walked around Montmartre. We had lunch at Mancini, an Italian restaurant owned by actual Italians on Rue Bachelet near Rue Custine. After lunch, we went to Sacré Coeur and the 300 steps to the top of the dome. It was cloudy, but the view was still beautiful.
After Sacré Coeur, we rushed through the tourist neighborhood and went to Espace Dalí, which has some Salvador Dalí, but most of the art there is by other people.
We ended our day in Montmarte on Boulevard de Clichy, home of the city's most famous red light district and Moulin Rouge. We were there in the daytime, so it was not all that seedy.
Dinner was at L'Orangerie, an authentic French bistro on Île Saint-Louis.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
