paris 2009: morning in montmartre

over the weekend we spent the morning in the montmartre neighborhood. luckily it was a clear (but cold) day when we got to sacre-coeur basilica.

afterwards we went to the montmartre museum, which was small but quaint, featuring artwork and history of the neighborhood. we were able to see the original painted sign from the local cabaret “lapin agile”. you can see a replica hanging on the storefront in the picture.
