Paris B&W : Sacre le Coeur

One of my favorite parts of Paris is Montmartre. Maybe because I am an artist and it is an artist kind of neighborhood.

I like getting off at metro Abssess, you know the I love you wall, walking the back route to Sacre le Coeur. First to avoid the gypsies, the africans, and the crowd and second because there are some interesting places to see.

Sometimes I feel like I am in Amelie when walking up all the stairs.

I love the small Oriental influenced towers.

To go home, I walk down the hill to metro Anvers passing the fabric stores and les Halles Saint Pierre.
Check out les Halles Saint Pierre next time your there, you never know you might pass a fashion designer. It's like the Mood of Paris
 

Paris B&W : Churches

The other day, I was going through my pictures and I have decided that at least once or twice a week, I would share some B&W shots of Paris to enjoy when I don't have a story or thought to share. Some are from night and some are from the day.

Today we have two churches. And no there are not of the famous Notre Dame.
The first is Saint Eustache that one can discover near Forum les Halles at metro stop Chatelet. I find the outside of the church fasinating and elaborate, more interesting than Notre Dame. All of the flying buttresses and windows.

Saint Eustache near Châtelet

 Another church is Saint Sulpice found at you guessed it metro stop Saint Sulpice. My husband and I discovered this church when we were walking out of Jardin du Luxembourg and then stumbled upon a "brocante" like an open air yard sale (more on this later). We didn't go inside, but again the architecture on the outside is just fun to stare at.

Saint Sulpice, I think

Have you visited any of these churches ? What were your impressions ?
