okay, I can make it here; don't think I have time to queue and go inside, but that's alright

pretty funny that they haven't cut down this tree which (I think?) blocks the view from Sacre-Cœur to the Eiffel tower

(perhaps it's intentional, and if you pay to go up to the roof of the church then you're above the tree and can see it? ^^)

some annoying salespeople/scammers around the base of the area but fortunately I'm not quite as much of a pushover as I used to be ^^

(there's a bronze statue in front but I don't remember if France has FOP so I didn't include it in the photo)

they've done a lot to make this feel like a plane flight (that's not a compliment), including how you have to arrive an hour in advance

like seriously did they get airline/airport companies to design this thing? so much of the infrastructure and terminology sounds like an airport, it's bizarre

I managed to end up at the wrong "terminal" due to confusing signage and had to jog along the platform to the right carriage >.<
