This is the last day in Paris so we are going to do a bit of a “Remembrance of Things Past.” We walked to the other are of Montmartre where we have spent so many months and had the best coffee in Paris at the cafe, le Nord-Sud adjacent to Jules Joffrin Metro station. The price of the coffee is less than half of what we paid on the Champs des Elysees.

We wandered around old haunts, shops we knew and we chatted to acquaintances before going to the Butte to meet our French friend from Australia for a long, late, leisurely lunch at one of our favourite restaurants, Chez Plumeau.
Chez Plumeau is on the Butte but not in the centre of the tourist area. We got up to the Butte on the funicular and waited there for our friend. Just above us loomed the dome of Sacre Coeur and just below us were the peddlers selling outrageous junk for equally outrageous prices to tourists.

After an early supper (baguette, pear, Roquefort and wine) we completed our packing for an early departure on the morrow.
