Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present the Moulin Rouge


Today was absolutely perfect weather and we took this opportunity to make our way to Montmartre to visit the historic Moulin Rouge. We walked up sides streets, snapping photos of very interesting street style and street art and made our way to the top of the famous Montmartre stairs, the highest point in the city, to pilgrimage through the Sacre-Coeur Basilica. While photos were not allowed in the Basilica, the view on the outside was stunning. On the way up as well, we stopped in a hidden park to soak up the sun and enjoy the beautiful day. 

 




  



Orange handbags once again dominated the streets of Paris. Hints of mustard yellow, browns, and bright oranges too could be seen in skirts, scarves, pants, shoes, jackets, dresses, and even turbans. 

   

  

 

    

  


 

 

 

  

Reds and pinks in all forms wandered Montmartre. 



 

 

  

  


  

   

 

 

Pleasant purple was prevalent in street art and street style.

 Talented performers can always be found on crowded streets.

 



 



A hint o'mint was very refreshing on this warm day as green pants and mint colored Vespa's refreshed the eyes.


    

 Also to be noticed were mens shirts in interesting prints.

 

Soothing blue created a very calm atmosphere despite the crowds of people.


 




 
This graffiti artist has painted Octopi all over Paris in many places and colors.

 


  

   

 

 

 

While there were some white/black combinations, reminiscent of New York was a surprising amount of people in all black wandering the streets.
