Sacré-Cœur and The Tower at Night

After walking our feet to the bone the last few days, we are taking a day off or at least relaxing at the apartment a bit. We watched videos, answered emails, and did some laundry! We actually have a clothes dryer, so everyone is happy about not having crunchy underwear. Our one big outing was lunch out at a French Restaurant. Yes, I started my meal with cake.

After our restful day, we decided to check out Sacré-Cœur, which was close to our apartment. I knew there were a lot of stairs to get to the top, but Wow! There are a lot of stairs. It was beautiful, but no photos were allowed. After the heat and all those stairs, we decided to head home and nap since later, we were heading to see the Eiffel Tower light up.

The Eiffel Tower at night is not just about the tower lighting up. There are street performers, dancing, music, and people watching, though the main attraction is the Tower. I was surprised to see that it not only lights up but shimmers like a disco ball. We stayed until about 10:30 since both kids were tired and it started to rain. Ella fell asleep on the metro ride home—always a sign of a good day.
