After seven days of riding Metro trains, this was the only time I came out of the subway station and was completely turned around. I came out thinking I knew where I was going and struck out in the "right" direction. Turned out to be 180 degrees off. After some wandering about and map consulting I got to what I was looking for, the cable rail line up the hill. And found it "closed indefinitely due to a technical problem". So I got to climb the stairs up to the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur. In multiple stages with rest breaks along the way. I spent maybe an hour wandering around inside the Basilica. Stunning place.
After that dinner at a randomly selected restaurant in Montmartre, a Metro ride back to near the hotel, and a final glass of wine in a sidewalk cafe at about 1am.
