After climbing stairs upon stairs, we arrived at the Montmartre church and it was worth the walking. I found it more beautiful than Notre Dame. They also had a great farmers market the day we went there which was really fun and enjoyable. We also purchased a painting from the adjacent square which was also enjoyable. Be careful of pickpockets... More

There are street thieves with a game that consists of three black pucks, one which has a white dot on the back. The dealer tells you he will give you 50€ if you guess the location of the puck with the dot. After he shuffles the pucks he has those around him, who pretend to be tourists but are really... More

Loved walking around the artists painting and drawing but plagued by beggars again. The views were stunning but the costs of eating and drinking were extortionate - 10 euros for a pint of cola...please!!! More

Take a taxi to the top of the hill, sit on the steps of the Sacre Coeur and enjoy the view over Paris. The public toilets just around the corner (female!) are worth a visit! ;) Walk to the small park then around to Montmartre village. It is unapologetic in it's tourist atmosphere but gets away with it! After strolling... More

This was one of my favorite places! After my husband and I walked up the stairs to the Sacre Coeur we walked to this lovely little square where artists sell their paintings. You can have your picture drawn here. I bought two beautiful watercolors from two different artists ... they are stunning. When I got them home and opened them... More

This whole area is simply amazing and oozing art and culture at every street corner! In order to see more than just the art shops and cafes, it is worth taking the time to follow a short walking tour to explore some of the key points of interest in this area. I took a short tour from the Sacre-Coeur and... More
