Montmartre / Sacré Coeur, Paris

Counting the days until I will be back in Paris, in early spring. Travelling with a small group of friends we will spend a few days in Paris before moving on to St. Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel on la Manche (English Channel) after several days there we will take a ferry to the Channel Islands for a week or so. My friends will return home after the stay in the islands and I will fly to London for a few days before I return home in mid April.

When I'm in Paris I stay at a little Hotel on Boulevard de Magenta I think this will be the 5th time that I've stayed there. It's just a small 2 star family run Hotel but I love and it is so well situated, within a five minute walk of two large rail stations the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est and all of their metro connections, the Hotel de l'Europe Paris. This section of the city is called Montmartre and is only a short walk from the Beautiful Basilica de Sacré Coeur.
