About
Montmartre is a historic hilltop district in Paris’s 18th arrondissement, famed for its bohemian heritage, iconic landmarks, vibrant street art, and sweeping city views. The white‑domed Basilica of the Sacré‑Cœur crowns the hill, offering panoramic vistas of Paris, while the charming Place du Tertre hosts artists who paint portraits for delighted visitors. The neighborhood’s street cafés, cabarets – notably the Moulin Rouge – its small vineyard on Rue Saint‑Vincent, and the quaint funicular connecting the lower streets to the top make Montmartre a microcosm of Parisian culture and history, perfect for leisurely exploration.
