Revisiting Monmartre,
Chairs and tables tipical of Parisian and Italian restaurants. Such is the life of Europeans, hours to drink cafe and chat while observing passerby.
Artists' displays in the streets of Monmartre. Unfortunately much is tailored to the know sights of Paris to attract tourist. Rather they should paint what they desire. Paintings that shows us who they are, such as the famous painters that frequent this place years before.
Crepes, a Parisian delicacy, is a must try for the sweet tooth. A thin pancake of wheat flour spread with nutella or bananas, among other fillings, and curled prior to eaten. ('crepe' is derived from latin crispa meaning curl). Originated in the northwest of France, Brittany, it is now considered a national food. The liquid batter is pour onto a hot plate (above) to make the pancake. Then fillings are added and served.
A few things Montmartre is know for is the artists still try to make a living through art. Only this time they take advantage of the tourists. Many famous artists have worked in Montmartre through the ages; Salvador Dali, Amedeo Modilgiani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh.
