Adieu, Adieu Montmartre

 It's time to say.....adieu, adieu Montmartre.....we're leaving you today.

It's been fun for the last 2 months.....but now it's time to settle into our larger apartment
on the quiet rue de la Rochefoucauld in the 9th arrondissement.
Adieu to our little apartment on rue Caulaincourt, Montmartre

Every day Pierre and I walked across
this beautiful courtyard garden to our apartment upstairs.
 Such a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Montmartre.
Adieu Le Cepage.....merci beaucoup....trés bon cafe!
Adieu to les pains chocolat...but maybe we'll find another fab boulangerie in the 9th.
And adieu to les coctails at Au Reve.....what a 'joint'!!! Like you've stepped into the 1950's!  C'est fantastique.
Time to put Plan "b" into action.......
Our removalist won't be quite as big as this van.....but we're off at 3pm today!
Adieu 18th arrondissement...
et maintenant....
Bonjour 9th arrondissement.

A bientôt!

    Bon Voyage Montmarte!! No worries, I'm sure, you will walk those pathways, courtyards and sit on those melting cafe chairs for many more days to come in your Parisian life missy! You are the lucky one! How is that Cire Trudon room spray? Do you love it?
