Left London for Paris at 4:30 on Eurostar train.
Arrive at le guard du nord, put luggage in storage locker and begin what will be a long, frustrating and fruitless journey to find a place to stay.
Bi-annual air-show, la fette du musique and a plethora of other events = no rooms anywhere in France (not an overstatement) – the perfect storm of events. Hotels and hostels would actually laugh at us.
Air BnB shout out finds us place for one night.

| Small part of stairs to Sacre Coeur |
Drag luggage all over Montmartre (about Montmarte). Bring them half way up the Sacre Coere to find out need to be at the base. Lugged them one bag at a time down a billion stairs in small incruments so we could keep an eye on them.
Very nice place at base of Sacre Coeur
After a brief nap I woke up and walked to top of Sacre Coeur to see awesome view of Paris-Tour
Eiffel sparkling. Everyone comes here and drinks wine and Heinekens (people here seem to like Heineken-yuk) while watching the sun set over the city. It one big party at the doors of the Sacre Coeur.
Make interesting dinner, lay on bed and take in nice view. . . pass-out trying not to worry about tomorrow.
