France - day 14

(Click on a picture to enlarge it!)

Before returning to Amsterdam we had quite some time in Paris left so we explored a little more while we could! I think we came out of metro station Clichy...

Accidentally we ended up here.

I had googled the day before if there were any model train shops in Paris. I found this blog that explained where to find 4 model railroad stores in ONE! street right next to Montmartre where we wanted to have another look!

I had to buy a model of course and Marjolein found one of the train we drove yesterday! Not very cheap but a lovely reminder of this trip :-)

We went to the Cimetière de Montmartre. This has got to be the most beautiful grave I've ever seen.

Marjolein walking between the stones.

Some of these (family) graves are very old and are almost like mini chapels. Some have very pretty lead glass windows in them.

This is the grave of André-Marie Ampère and his son.

And then it was back to Amsterdam on the Thalys. End of holiday.

It was a lovely vacation! :-)
