I have been in this district on all three of my visits and each time I have discovered something new. The church at the top of the hill is just stunning and is a perfect photo opportunity. Please do not go here with luggage or a baby buggy because you will have some difficulty getting up the steps. The tram... More

IF you have paris pass, you can go to the top by cable car, no need to climb all those steps.This is a church but eye catching place with lots of beautiful arts.If you can go there around 7.00 pm , you can listen to the nice catholic sermons preached by the sisters in there.

We enjoyed Mantmartre a lot. We walked all the streets up and down hills. We stopped into several establishments and all of the French people we met were very friendly. The area is a little more diverse than other parts of Paris. It is louder and the people are more "expressive". Don't buy any souveniers on Champs Elysees - buy... More

My daughter took a tour here with her first trip to Europe. After half a day she can't wait to get out of France! She's going to DisneyParis rather than spend another minute in the city. I'm not impressed with Montmartre after several trips to Paris. Unsafe, not clean, sacre coeur not old enough to bother with. Absolutely broken hearted... More

On the one hand, the area, the architecture and many of the shops are very charming. On the other hand, this was unbelievably crowded and edgy. A sea of unending people. Lots of junky touristy souvenir shops. They are all alike. These are mixed in with cute little cafes, boutiques, and other local shops. Be very aware of your belongings... More

We used Rick Stevens walking tour guide and spent a good part of the day exploring Montmartre. We saw areas and learned things that we would not have seen without the guide book. A great day. Lots of up and down walking.

We visited Montmartre for the day and were impressed with the beauty of the Sacre Coeur and the surrounding streets. It's a shame that we were harrassed constantly by men trying to braid some sort of string on tourists' fingers. When told 'no', these men have no qualms in physically grabbing your arm and when told by my partner not... More

Montmartre was really a fascinating place. Just based on feel and atmosphere, it was my favorite neighborhood in Paris. I had my portrait drawn by a street artist, and he wasn't out to scam me or my friends by any means. We negotiated with him a little bit, but for the most part he seemed like a nice guy and... More
