24/10: Visited the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre (an area where the famous Moulin Rouge is). Montmartre is in fact a 130m high hill and for some reason the police decided to block the roads since 10am, which then left us no choice but to park below. Little did I know that the climb was gonna be no easy feat! Flights and flights of stairs.... In the photo, you can see a funicular which ferries people up & down. We didn't think we were THAT weak, but alas...... Let's just say that it was a good Sunday workout.
Nonetheless, the view from up there was awesome! Photo on the right, where the crowd is, you can actually see a man performing ball-balancing tricks. There were also people basking. What a great atmosphere for a otherwise quiet Sunday.
More people started arriving to attend the service which was scheduled at 3pm that day. So be sure to check if you want to (and you should) tour the inside of the basilica.
