The windows of the Le Bateau Lavoir showing the reflection of sunlight from across the square. Picasso had his studio here, from 1904 – 1909, with other artists including Fernande Olivier (whom he met there and had a relationship with for 7 years), Kees Van Dongen, Juan Gris, Amedeo Modigliani, and Jacques Vaillant, among others. Many called this the "birthplace of cubism"!

"I Love You" wall, "Man Walking Through Wall", 2014, April, fabric store, Montmartre, Paris, Place du Tertre, Sacre-Coeur, the Dam Button Store

Well with the countless hours on our own and the very great private tour that we had of Montmartre, there were only a couple things left that we hadn’t gotten to yet. Here they are in photos!

The "I Love You" wall with no people in front of it!

The other Moulin, windmill left in Montmartre, this one is privately owned and not accessible like the other, which is also a cafe!

One of the fine artist there we chatted with admiring her work when she noticed that Lois had on very unique earrings, she asked what they were? They were from a photo of mine of Table Mt back home in Oroville. She loved them, so I told her to pick out one of her favorite paintings and I would make it into a pendant for her as she did not wear earrings! This was the painting she chose!

This area is always so busy, large trucks are always in this area as they cannot drive through without at least three maneuvers! The two cafes are very famous as back in the days, all of the artist would end up at one or the other of them and drink all night. Story goes that they would show up with a painting and the barkeep would give them a bottle of wine for it. The artist died broke and the barkeep made millions later selling their originals!

Lois wanted a fabric store as we had purchased some back in 2003 and made pillows with it. She did finally make a purchase after going through all five floors.
