Where to stay:
Hotels in Montmartre
Our
hotel partner, Booking.com, offers competitive rates on hotels and apartments in
all categories. Listings include ratings and reviews by paying guests.
Sightseeing and shopping:
Sacré-Coeur
You needn't worship the Sacred Heart to enjoy blood-stirring views from
Montmartre's hilltop basilica. (But avoid the "string
men" at the base of the hill.)
Dalida in Montmartre
One of France's most celebrated singers is remembered
with a tomb in Montmartre Cemetery, a public square, and a fan-polished bronze bust.
Erotic Museum
The Musée d l'Erotisme has its share of X-rated Hindu temple carvings and
early 20th Century raciness, but its best feature may be the exhibit about Paris
brothels from the late 1800s through 1946.
Marché Saint-Pierre
If shopping for fabric strikes your fancy, bring a steamer trunk (or, better yet, a
van) to the Marché Saint-Pierre cloth district in the 18th arrondissement.
Transportation in Montmartre:
Montmartre Funicular
If you can't stand steep hills, the Funiculaire de Montmartre is one way
to reach Sacré-Coeur without getting out of breath.
