According to the Fitbit, we walked over 30,000 steps today! We started the day with a sweet crepe and a walking tour of Montmarte. Our guide Hanna led an entertaining tour around the district, pointing out former houses of various artists, actors, and other famous residents as well as landmarks like the Moulin Rouge. According to some, Sacre Coeur has the best view in all of Paris. I’m not qualified to evaluate that claim, but it is without a doubt an amazing view of the city.

Not satisfied with one walking tour, we then embarked on Rick Steves’s self-guided walking tour of Notre Dame cathedral and the surrounding area. We were both pretty tired at this point, but despite that, we decided to run around the Louvre museum before it closed. We managed to speed walk through three wings of the museum in about an hour. After leaving the Louvre, we headed to the Eiffel Tower. After a late dinner, we walked up the hill to our apartment, totally exhausted.
