5. Great photos, and thank you for sharing them, my dear Old Crank!

Somehow simultaneously, delicate and massive! I feel the weight of these stones in every photo.

Wow.

8. Place du Tertre, just behind Montmartre

Is one of my favorite places in Paris. I always go there for the artists and a meal if I can.

I heard the Monteverdi 1610 Vespers performed live in the basilica many years ago. One of my fondest memories of Paris.

10. I was up earlier

than my friends and hung out there waiting for the tower to open in Sacre-Couer.

The rest of the area is very touristic. Somehow that square isn't so bad in the mornings anyway.
