Now in Paris we're in a small studio apartment on the 6th floor of a building in Montmartre. Looking out the dormer window we can see the domes of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. This morning we walked up the hill to see it close up. We weren't allowed in because we were wearing sandals! We're so lax at St Thomas'!
We then wandered the streets of Paris, through a beautiful set of arcades that went through three blocks of buildings, finishing up at the Seine near the Louvre. One of the pedestrian bridges across the Seine was glittering in the sun. As we drew closer we realised that it was reflections from thousands of padlocks (or love locks) in the fencing along the bridge. It seems this is an international phenomenon, having seen them in Prague, Verona and now Paris. No doubt you'll find them in Melbourne as well.
