Starting next week, I'll be spending a lot of time in the 19th arrondissement.
I will be taking French classes up here...after only 2 weeks of no school I am itching to get back to class.
The neighborhood is not quite as picturesque as the 5th or the 7th or the 1st or the 4th, it must be admitted.
Still, I spent a pleasant hour strolling around the canal St. Martin on Wednesday.
Then I walked home (taking the long, scenic route) through Montmartre.
It took me 2 hours, but I got my exercise climbing many steps...
...and up steep winding paths in this little park.
Even on a Wednesday afternoon in February, the steps of Sacre Coeur are thronged with tourists being entertained by horrible, horrible musicians.
But even their wretched sounds couldn't spoil the view.
And I don't even mind looking like all the other tourists taking pictures of these cute little streets....
...and the windmills, of course. I love the windmills.
I'm pretty sure one or both of these is a fake or a replica, but I don't care.
