Day 7, Scheduled maintenance closes two entire subway lines?!?! And this is Normal?

Seoul vs London in an Underground Shootout. Coming at a later time. Suffice it to say that both have their advantages but I have never seen an entire Seoul Subway line closed, and it happens here at regular intervals. Moving on,
After a brief panic about how to get to our pick-up spot for our tour and the whole trying to get there thing we arrived, on time, in one piece. So we arrive, get on the bus and get started. We crossed the English channel on a ferry, and then it was back on the bus on the way to Paris. In Paris we went to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur (Basilica of the Sacred Heart), known as kinda the central part for the creative district. Famous people who are around here were Salvador Dalí, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh (thanks Wikipedia) Then we went just a little over to the village ish thingy of Montmartre (actually the name of the hill). It is a picturesque place full of coffee shops, crepe shops, and portraiteurs. It was probably the most Paris-esque place we went in all of Paris.

And of course, we finish the day with a visit to the Red-light district, and photos in front of Moulin Rouge
