We take the Metro to Basilique Sacré-Cœur in the Montmartre neighborhood and climb the dome. It is a wonderful view from this high peak across the city of Paris. It started building in 1875 and completed in 1914/dedicated after WWI in 1919. The interior is a little plain (compared to St. Eustache) but the embellishments on the outside make up for it. There has been continuous prayer for 125 years, as a consecrated Host is on display above the altar.
We come back to our neighborhood and have lunch at a café, after bypassing the Les Halles station. Fred hates Les Halles and forbids further usage of this station. It is overly complicated and the signage is not what it should be.

We have dinner at Namiki. It is interesting to see that most of the clientele are Asian, which we take as a positive sign that the food is authentic. And it was, since dinner was very good.
