We are very thankful for what was pretty much a stress free start to our holiday. Even with Ronja, we got packed up, sat (and ate) in a train for 6 hours, and made it to Paris with good spirits.
Once checked in (Birgit found a great place near Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord - cheap, clean, albeit seemingly directly above a rumbling subway), we set off on a trek to climb Montmartre. With a buggy, this wasn't so pleasant, but it was interesting to see a different side of Paris, and the view was nice.
Birgit had a plan, and this plan included dinner. Unfortunately, two planned options were on holiday, but we spotted a "creperie and cider bar" and were happy we did. French savoury pancakes are (apparently) made from buckwheat, so we both could tuck in. And the cider was good too!
A quick dander past the Moulin Rouge (just to have seen it) and the Montmartre graveyard (quicker than planned - it was also closed, but only because we got there long after 6pm) completed our evening. After the long walk back, we were ready for a rest.
