Paris ~deux

After a rainy drive to the airport in Prague and a bit of a delay, Jackie and I landed in Paris. Stepping out of the metro into Montmartre, we were greeted by literally thousands of people. It seems that we had stumbled into a giant music festival! Woo hoo! It was even more comical to us because we had expected to sit at a small café and enjoy an uneventful bottle of wine.

We skipped up to our hotel where the concierge (with a wink) gave us a corner room that faced a park where one of the dj’s was set up within feet. As we walked down the hall, the music got louder and the walls started shaking. It sounded like the party was literally in our hotel room…well, close enough. We had two balconies that opened up to the party that we could walk out onto and dance. It was amazing!

We jumped right into the mix; light shows, a steel drum band, a rock band, dj’s on balconies, dj’s in parks, drum and bass on the sidewalk. !!!!! It was a perfect way to celebrate the summer solstice. It was also impossible not to feel like Paris had thrown the party just for us. The local friends we made at the party that night assured us that we were indeed very lucky. It ends up that this party changes counties every year. We had just happened to book a hotel exactly in the middle of it.

The night ended climbing up to Sacré Cœur to enjoy one last look over the city...with mixed (entertaining) company.

Good Show Paris…Merci beaucoup
