Charms of Montmartre

Topped by the white Sacre-Coeur Basilica, Montmartre is the highest Paris hill at 130 meters. Besides Eiffel Tower, Montmartre is the place to come for the best view of Paris, be it day or night. It is somewhat touching to see Sacre-Coeur Basilica overseeing, and guarding the city.

Paris, was the place I was in for the past 1.5 weeks. (Mind you, i was on a work trip....certainly not rich enough to go there for vacation hehe).... Although I wouldn't say it is my favourite city, it has a certain charm and I would love to be back one day, to explore every corner, glamourous or not, and to take time to take nicer photo.

Today was the first day back at work...how tough it was trying to balance between urgent and/or important work. For the first time in 5 years, I truly feel like calling it quits....Anyway, enough of negativities!! After a hard day at work, it is very therapeutic to look at some of the photo I've taken and doing some minor touching up. Haven't had time to edit all yet, will just share a few that I've taken at Montmartre first. Look our for more photo taken at the other typical places like Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower (wink)...and Toulouse!

One of the paintings I really love, which portrayed a typical cafe found in Montmartre.

Caricature Artist @ work. Such great likeness right? I've heard that some artist will make quick drawings of tourists and force them to pay....doubt she is one of them. =)

Another artist...din see his work, but he sure got the "sey"....
