Treasure Trove

Paris
I toured two gypsies starting at the basilica Sacre-Coeur. In the vicinity is Moulin Rouge. Girls on the sidewalk teased men and boys to peek inside the sexy shops. We lingered for a while before we went to Tuileries, an open-air sculpture museum. We crossed Pont Alexander III to gaze at Grand Palais, then on to Champs de Elysees. For the final stretch, we visited Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower.
But it’s the centuries-old buildings and medieval churches and gothic architecture scattered all over the place that are the real treasures. And no museum can contain that!
