Parc Buttes Chamount and Sacre Coeur

Saturday we were still a bit jet lagged so we slept in before heading to the Parc Buttes Chaumont as suggested by a friend as well as a local. M was quite pleased with himself on the subway ride there.


First we hiked to the top of the park's summit for views of Montmartre and the Sacre-Coeur.

The park had some stunning views.
Next we found a great little pastry shop where we got some delicious snacks and enjoyed a picnic in the park.


Cool bridge:
Manmade waterfall:

Let's just say he was not pleased when it ended:
At the playground:
Marionette show: (Something I wouldn't have thought to do if I didn't have a toddler but it was very enjoyable.)
Next we decided to head over to Montmarte where we walked up many a stair for a panoramic view of the city followed by a tour of Sacre Coeur.
