Montmartre Cemetery

Montmartre Cemetery

So. many. cats! And so much blue. What a dreamy place this is.

The view has it all; the Seine, the beautiful style of buildings that make Paris Paris, the Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel Tower, and the adorable gargoyles to look out at everything with you. I could have spent hours studying all of them….
