I stayed in Montmartre about 15 years ago & it is a little more touristy but still brilliant. I visited with my wife for 3 nights in May to visit the Moulin Rouge. During the day the windy narrow streets , artist , steps , sacre coure are all worth seeing but Montmartre comes to life at night. The bars... more

Spent a few hours in Montmartre on a weekday afternoon in late May. Visited the Sacre Coeur, walked part of the Boulevard de Clichy, and explored several of the dense narrow streets packed in between. I admit you cannot beat the view offered from the top of the hill -- even on a cloudy day. The Basilica is an architectural... more

I couldn't disagree more with the many positive reviews below. Monmartre is what Paris would be like if Disney did it (then again, millions of people love Disney World, so maybe I'm the one whos off track!) The streets Are curvey and cute, but its all too cute. Its packed with tourists and feels like an "attraction." My 9 euro... more

A short metro ride from anywhere in the city, Montmartre is easy to get to. Strolling along the narrow streets is a delight.; stop at a patisserie for a freshly baked chocolate croissant, a taste of creamy brie or sharp bleu at one of the many fromageries, a succulent orange you'd swear was fresh from the orchard. Then stop at... more

I wasn’t sure what to expect when staying in Montmartre: some reviews described it as seedy and exploitative of tourists, and not what it was. That’s probably true, but it actually doesn’t matter much. Yes, there are hawkers who try to rip you off, and there are the [--] shops on Blvd de Clichy, but there is so much more... more

One of our favorite areas in Paris. I highly recommend taking the metro to Montmartre and spending an afternoon exploring the hill. The neighborhood is very unique with narrow, cobble stone streets winding throughout the hill. There are plenty of excellent cafes. Great people watching in front of Sacre Couer or just around the corner, in the square where many... more

We went to paris for 3 days, our party was 3 girls between 22-25, we are used to travelling on a budget, so we tried to find the cheapest hotel. After researching the Montmartre area, and speaking to friends, we decided to book here... During the day for sightseeing, eating out etc. it was great, we were only a tube... more

We stayed in an apartment on place du terte and had a wonderful experience, the apartment was fantastic, the location was great, the people were lovely (ok one artist gave us hassle) the small winding streets were lovely and like nothing else in Paris. There is so much to discover here, we never had a problem or felt unsafe apart... more

Go to Montmartre where the painters sit. Just for fun and show we used the funiculaire. Of course you will pass Sacre Coeur. My boy refused to enter another church after the Notre dame waiting experience. Apart from the Eiffel tower, the Seine cruise for french speaking children, the Montmartre experience was the third hightlight of my boy. I payed... more
