Day 5: We went to Montmarte to climb the steps to the Sacre Coeur. After some light souvenir shopping we metroed down to the Pablo Picasso Museum. It was kind of light sight seeing day but very tiring because of all the walking and metro riding. After the museum, we stopped back at the hotel to drop some things off, freshend up a bit, and then did more walking to the Haussmann Boulevard district. Though we didn't go into the department stores, I did find one shop I had on my list to visit. It was the french soap store La Compagnie de Provence (marseille). I bought some soaps and lotions for myself and for gifts. The sales person at the store gave us some "local" recommendations of where to eat. There was one place where he said not to tell anyone because if it ended up in a guide book it wouldn't be the same anymore. I wish we did eat at the restaurant but because of time contraints, we couldn't. It's on my list to do for the next time.
and a well deserved treat:
