We started the day with breakfast here at home. Baguette, cafe au lait, jam, cashews and more cafe au lait.
We decided to hit the train station and buy our TVG bullet train tickets to Tortiniere. It's a cooking school in a chateau tucked away in the Loire Valley. We visit on Sunday and will stay the night in one of their Hansel and Gretel cottages.
After buying tickets and figuring out how to get on the train, we toured Sacre Coeur, a beautiful church that I thought was even more impressive than Notre Dame. It's brand new by Paris standards. Sacre Coeur was built in 1870. Notre Dame was started in 1185.
After that, we walked the street of Montmarte, now lined with souvenir shops and huge fabric stores. I bought 1/2 meter of reddish fake fur to use as wigs on vent figures. (There. Something referring to ventriloquism).
Tonight we embark on a dinner cruise down the Seine. We leave from a port next to the Eiffel Tower, which should look breathtaking by night.
