Today, I'm visiting Montmartre in Paris. It's a famous neighbourhood on a hill. First, I'm taking the funicular in order to see the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. The view is absolutely magnificent. Then, I'm going to Place du Tertre. I'm looking at the paintings and I'm talking to a talented painter. Later, I'm stopping at a small café. I'm drinking a hot chocolate and I'm eating a delicious croissant. This is a wonderful day!
