Checked out of hotel and headed for the Gare de Nord. My train wasn`t until 17.30 so had a few hours to kill so headed up to Montmartre. It`s a steap climb up but you are rewarded with a fantastic view, especially if you climb all the stairs to the dome on top of Sacré Cœur. The whole of Paris is laid out at your feet.

Spent some time wandering the lanes of the village in the footsteps of Van Gough and Renior., before heading for the train and the three hour journey back to London
