About Montmartre: There is no area in Paris more romantic than Montmartre.
Named by Parisians ‘the Paris village’ Montmartre is the highest point of the
city, built on the slopes of a hill 130 meters high, overhung by the Sacre Coeur
Basilica. It has incredible views over Paris.
The area is quite busy and peaceful all together. You can easily leave the
crowd and find a lost little village square around the next corner, an
unexpected hole-in-the-wall café or restaurant, museum or piece of
interesting street art and so many shops nestled here and there which you
could not find without the insider knowledge of a local. You will be delighted
and surprised to see that Montmartre has it’s own vineyards and produces
wine and see the last remaining windmills in the area.
Montmartre and it’s surroundings were also the residing choice of many
famous painters such as Renoir, Toulouse Lautrec, Picasso and Pissaro (we
have Pissaro’s apartment as a B&B too) all of whom were seduced by it’s
inspiring ambiance. You can still go to the famous Tertre square and watch
artists paint and draw in the street.
Montmartre is a little more distant than other areas from the major
monuments and sights but it is a ‘must-see’ sight of it’s own and public
transport will get you there and back in a snap. Going out in Montmartre is
inexpensive too and there is a very lively nightlife.
