Mindy was thinking about applying to be a dancer, but decided that teaching is a more noble profession. In between going to Sacre Coeur, Mindy and I decided to check out some of the less divine sights of Paris. We started in Clichy, which is one of the most densely populated municipalities in all of Europe and the home of The Moulin Rouge and Paris' red-light district. The Moulin Rouge looks like a french version of the Rockettes (although Mindy and I think the Rockettes are probably a little better - slight bias as our friend Kristin is a Rockette). We took a look in the souvenir shop and decided that we will definetly have to take in a show before we go back to Canada. At 300 euros for the both of us to attend the dinner show, the budget will have to be worked over a little before we actually attend.
After exiting the Moulin Rouge, we decided to stroll the neighbourhood of Clichy. A few nightclubs here and adults only shops there with a museum thrown in for good measure, and we were ready to move on.
We did poke our heads into this museum, but decided it was a little over the top for our taste.After Clichy, we headed to the Sacre Coeur (please see Part 1 for the details and pictures). By the time we finished there, we were starting to get hungry but we first had to make a stop for some very important tickets. My name is Bond, James Bond. Being the Metro experts that we have become, we went to the movie theater near the Opera House before jumping on the train to the Latin Quarter for a little dinner. A quick and tasty kebab later, followed by a stop at a candy vendor and we were on our way back to the theater. Hey...Dinner & a Movie...Paris style.
I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, but will say that the violence quota was filled admirably. After the movie we headed home and commented about how much fun we had that day. Just another day in Paris-dice.
Maison du Gyros was randomly chosen and did not disappoint.
How to make Mindy happy? Combine a pita shell with sweet sauce, kebab meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and french fries. Wrap all together and serve warm. Delicious.
After digging in, the Princess needed to wipe her face. Such table manners.
Upon exiting the theater, I noticed this picture of Mindy and myself advertising the movie we had just seen. Coincidence...I think not.

That is soooo weak that Bond came out in Paris before it did in London...Ontario. Stupid Paris... O.k. clearly I am just a little jealous. Make sure you go to the Moulin Rouge Show! Red and I saw it when we were there and both of us agreed it was one of the best parts of the trip! Good luck this weekend!
