Leaving London on the 9:17am Eurostar meant we were up and about at Chiswick quite early.
Our early start was rewarded with a large chunk of the day in Paris. Staying near the Gare du Nord and not so far from Montmartre we soon gravitated to the mount famous for Sacre Coeur and many artists.
We visited Musee Montmartre and an exhibit that joined more dots, "Chat Noir", the symbol for much of the republican protest that came to a head in the storming of the Bastille. The other dot was attending the performance of Les Miserables at West End last week.
We had lunch and dinner on the mount - spending our time watching artists at work and the crowds going by. We were captivated by an acrobatic street performer who balanced a soccer ball on his feet and juggled it while performing all sorts of feats high up at the top of a lamp post at the top of the very high stairs on the hill of Sacre Coeur.
We have another early morning start and long journey tomorrow - so we returned to Hotel Maubeuge and try to get some sleep with the background noise of a busy city just outside our window.
