The Audience on the Stairs

It is astounding that I had not really explored the Montmartre area until now, a month in.  A thrift-shop and knick-knack filled Rue climbs up hill, and winding steps lead to the Sacrée Cœur.  The many many steps serve as seating pour l'audience - here the show is the view. 

 Le Sacrée Cœur, and the flock of tourists circling it.

The view of Paris below.

The audience, enjoying the view, enjoying the music, or just enjoying each other.

Here you can see one of the musical performers.  I imagine that you have to obtain the right to perform in front of this extremely popular touristic attraction... however, the musical performances were not top notch.  I have been much more moved by singers in the metro. 
The less than adequate music did not, however, ruin the mood.  With all of Paris stretched out before you, even the the most basic music cannot take away from the beautiful city and blue sky.
