Caro and I got up around noon since we both don't have to work apparently. After having breakfast, she showed me the famous Parisian district of Montmartre: where "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" took place. We walked all the way up the the church called 'Sacré-Cœur.' It was magnificent, and the view was absolutely fantastic.
We walked back down slowly afterwards, but since it's Bastille Day, the National Day of France, most of the stores were closed, including the café in 'Amélie,' Café des 2 Moulins.
After having coffees at a café near Caro's place, we went back to get ready to go the Eiffel Tower to meet up with Caro's friends for the fireworks. We were trying to get the city bikes, but the ones near by were all taken. After walking pass three stations, we decided to give it up and take the metro instead.
The crowd was huge as expected. We could only find a place at the Fine Art Museum which was not so crowded yet around 8pm, the time which we arrived at. Caro's friend was also late, so we started our picnic first. The Fireworks started shortly after 11. It lasted 30 minutes and was unquestionably gorgeous. Even our view were partially blocked by the giant trees in front of us.
We then strolled to Champs-Élysées and Louvre. It was a pleasant night and the atmosphere was enchanting. After strolling for an hour or so, we finally got the bikes to ride home. It was a bit tough since the way back was mostly uphills, but it was a good exercise for me.
