Last day en Paris

I was obsessed with the movie Moulin Rouge when it came out. Okay I still am from time to time. I know, nerd alert! And today I was at the real thing. Proof:









I made Wahli sit and listen to my favorite song from the soundtrack (Rufus Wainwright's Complainte de la Butte) with me, as we sat and watched the windmill turn round about.

We also visited Mont Martre of course—another Moulin Rouge must-see. It was absolutely beautiful and we could see why artists have flocked there over the years.






This visit to Paris went by way too fast. I will come again though. I mean I've got the train system down! And I know now not to look the Tunisian men in the eye. Good lord...

Anyway, I still need to have a croque monsieur in Paris and I won't get to before we head out demain matin. Twill be a 3 hour train ride to the south of France where we'll pick up a rental car and head to Aix en Provence (the home of Cezanne). Mmm, 80 degrees awaits, or whatever that is in Celsius—I ought to know by now. Too sleepy. Bon nuit Paris...
