The park is an extension of the Louvre.
We went to an area of town called: Montmartre
In this area, you will find Sacré-Coeur (a basilica)

Lots of artists with paintings of Paris.
Montmartre
I fell in love with this painting
the moment I saw it.
I couldn't imagine leaving
the city without it, so I didn't.

Me with the artist!
