Montmartre
is a district full of authentic charm, famous for the Sacré-Coeur basilica and
a magnificent view of Paris.
For the
price of a metro ticket, visitors can take the funicular to the top of Montmartre
hill.
More sporty
types can climb the 222 steps leading up through the Louise Michel public
garden.
After
visiting the basilica, visitors enjoy strolling around this historic area:
there is Place du Tertre and its famous caricaturists, the Espace Dalí, the
Montmartre grapevines, the cabaret du Lapin Agile, the Musée Montmartre.
The walk
continues down to the world famous Moulin Rouge cabaret.
On the way,
there is plenty to interest visitors: arty and trendy shop windows in rue des
Abbesses and rue Tardieu, shops in rue Lepic, the cosmopolitan rue de
Steinkerque and Montmartre cemetery.
A few
minutes walk from the Moulin Rouge, in SoPi (South Pigalle), the tea room in
the garden of the Musée de la Vie Romantique is a delightful place to stop for
refreshments.
