The Louvre and Sacre Coeur

Today we started our day with breakfast at Starbucks (yes, Starbucks! No other place in the neighborhood was open!) and went to the Louvre. 
I was a good boy and took a nap so mommy and daddy could have 2 full hours! Did you know you can jump the security line if you have a stroller? :) We saw the Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa (can you believe how small she is?), winged victory, a sphinx, and more. At the end, we saw an entrance where there is no line! We'll keep that in mind for next time :)
On the way home, we ate at the Royal Cafe right down the street from our apartment. We had Croque Madame and Croque Provençal. I had some of each, and also a hot dog and pomme frites! 
we came home and rested for a bit, then took the metro to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Beautiful views! 
We walked through Monmartre and had some yummy crepes with Nutella and apricots. We passed Moulin Rouge on the way back to the metro.
