jour 8, lundi, le 6 decembre

Off to the Monet exhibition at the Galeries Nationale.

Had tickets for 10:30. Unfortunately, they allowed too many non-reserved ticket holders to enter and therefore the first half of the exhibition was a claustrophic crush.

The exhibition was wonderful. Rented the audio guide at the assistance of the museum staff. Funny thing about language. She said, in French, that we should rent it. I responded, in French, that we would rent two and that they should be set to English. She then explained, in French, how to operate the "English" audio guide.

After the Monet exhibition back to the apartment, with doing a quich stop to do some shopping.

Then to Montmartre. Stop at Pigalle metro so that we can walk by the "Sex" area.



Then up rue Lepic to have a late lunch at the Cafe des Deux Moulins featured in the Amelie movie starring Audrey Tautou. Croque Monsieur/Madames were our selections. Katarina had the Monsieur while George and I had the Madame.



Then a visit to Collignon's, also featured in Amelie. Unfortunately it was closed.

A walk up to Sacre Coeur, down rue Cortot (former apartment rented at Number 3) and then a quick visit to St. Vincent Cemetery.

Back to the apartment as Katarina was not feeling well. Luckily we made it back on the metro to the apartment. She soon was sound asleep. Dinner was soup and Quiche as couldn't go out and leave Katarina alone.
