On Friday March 18th, we traveled to Montmartre which is an area in the 18th arrondissement in the North of Paris. Our tour guide Pamela gave us a guided tour of the district and told us the story of the Saint Denis who was a christian martyr living at the time of the roman soldiers. The legend of St. Denis is that he was decapitated by the Romans while he was walking through the streets of  Montmartre. But the Romans could not stop him, he picked up his head and walked ten kilometers to be buried in the Christian way. The Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre is located on a huge hill at the top of Montmartre. There is an amazing view from the top of the hill.
After we visited the Church we had time to explore the area.

 

 After we visited the Church we had time to explore the area. In front of the Church were people playing music and a man that could do amazing tricks with a soccer ball. Behind the Church was a row of shops with many artists who were creating portraits of people in the street.
