hanging with the impressionists

Much of the day was given to exploring the Montmartre area, where many of the Impressionist painters hung out. We also visited Sacre Coeur while we were at it.


 This is the Moulin de la Galette, a place for the fashionable of Paris to meet and mingle, captured in Renoir's beautiful piece, Bal de Moulin de la Galette.


 The walk ended with at the Moulin Rouge.
So enjoy this clip:
