Picnicking with my favorite people in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower makes for a pretty special afternoon.

Art museums are a dime a dozen in Paris. It seems as if there is one on every corner here. However some are certainly more grand than others. The Musee D'Orsay is grand. And so lovely. Art is housed in an old train station, it's a pretty impressive place to wander through on a rainy afternoon in Paris.

Today was day two of work and by the time the end of our shifts came we were itching for some exploring. We decided to (literally and figuratively) make the hike to the Basilique du Sacre Coure. It's in the 18th arrondissement in the top west corner of Paris in the sweet area known as Montmartre. The obnoxiously long metro ride is followed by about 2 billion sets of stairs up the hill to this beautiful place of worship. It's all worth it in the end because not only is the church amazing the view is equally (if not more so) incredible. All of Paris can be seen from the steps of the Sacre Coure.

An ENORMOUS farmers market takes place in the Bastille on Sundays, we decided we needed to check it out.
But first things first, a stop at the crepe stand and get something with Nutella on it.
Ok, better...moving on: The Market!
This market is amazing, everything is so fresh and booth workers yell prices, products for sell in French over each other. Crowds shuffle through isles and samples of fresh steamed clams are passed out among curious consumers. It's an incredibly unique way to get a glimpse into french culture.
I can't wait to go back with a grocery list.
The market starts in the middle of the Bastille neighborhood (12 arrondissement) and goes for a few blocks. It's only open on Thursdays and Sundays from 7am till 3pm.
Au Revoir!
