Montmartre and the lights of Paris

Spectacular weather brought out huge crowds everywhere. We stopped first at the Marche aux Puces (flea market) at Clignancourt. It was HUGE! Then we walked up the hill of Montmartre where we each bought a water colour painting from and artist, then sat at a cafe for drink. We just had time to scoot back to St. Michel and catch a river boat to see the lights of Paris.

At the flea market.....

.....so many beautiful things.
