Montmartre Is The Heart Of Paris

Montmartre is full of Parisian charm and character. Perched above the city on a high hill, its most iconic landmark is the Sacré-Cœur basilica. You can see its white domes from far across the city and it's here you find perhaps the best view of Paris. This site has long been a site of worship, but Montmartre is more associated now with its art scene and nightlife. There was a time when a massive group of the world's most famous artists lived in Montmartre and had studios here: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Picasso, Van Gogh, Mondrian, Modigliani, and Toulouse-Lautrec (who painted those now iconic posters of the Moulin Rouge). Don't miss Place du Tertre where you'll still find artists congregated to work and sell their art. Nowadays, Montmartre is also forever known as the setting to the beloved movie Amélie.

After my firtst divorce in '92, I went down to Paris for a few day''s , and came out in Montmartre.. (I didn't had any hotel or bed for the night.. I wentto Cafe '''Le Consulat'' After a few beers with owner Jacques Damme and his wife, they offer me an appartment, Rue Norvins, and cold stay yhere for how lonh i wanted, I'll stay there for 10 months !, The best time of my life, I met a woman who's her own cafe on Place de Tertre, 10 years ago, I get a message that i had a beautiful daughter overthere..... and since then we have contact, Love Paris, Montmartre, It''s a small village in a Big city... After that i'll never found another place like that, and had live everywhere on this Earth, and considder to go back forever....

[@EileenAldis]

[@francinesicard464]

Born in Paris but living abroad for most of my life, Montmartre is also my favourite area of Paris. A little village in the middle of the Capital.

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Francine! It's such a charming area and really does feel set apart from the rest of the city. Just have to contend with the stairs ;)

[@katstella8930]

Thank you for posting such an enchanting view of Montmarte Eileen :) I've just subscribed your channel and look forward to watching your other travel vlogs - especially the rest of your Paris mini-series xxx

[@salanicus]

Funny, but I don't even mind when you occasionally do a voice over episode like this. I suppose it's because you two always capture so much rich character your shots. Even your B Roll is charming. But here it was fun to hear and see so many historical facts. Always adore Toulouse-Lautrec. Some of your scenes remind me of Allen's Midnight in Paris movie :) Your episodes are never boring. Best, James and Kim

Place du terte! I only know of these little nuggets of knowledge cos of your videos! There's a brand of art supplies named Montmarte. Never knew why but now I know! Thanks Eileen!

That is actually the most interesting part of Paris and I'd love to visit this place. idk which language is "Ick liebe dir" but it sounds german... but actually isn't. lol. maybe accent somewhere. The Sacre Coeur is an amazing building. Great informative vid!

I remember kids selling beers out of coolers they had dragged up the hill, onto the steps of the Sacred Heart church. 😅 Maybe the cops have cleaned it up a bit?

[@robwilliams2410]

We got busted by the ticket controllers on that funicular on our honeymoon. 🤣 We actually had tickets, so we thought. But what we actually purchased were just weekly supplements ... something like that ... for registered customers with a corresponding picture ID. Anyway after politely confessing our ignorance and best intentions, they did have mercy on us, and they told us how to get setup with the card + photo ID. Ah yes, ID pictures from the photo booth at a train station in Paris.... cue the music to Amalie.

[@EileenAldis]

haha YES I totally had the Amelie moment doing that too. Any excuse! Sounds like one of those stories that might've been annoying at the time but turned into a good travel memory. Glad they took pity on you honeymooners!

[@robwilliams2410]

Eileen Aldis we were having such a lovely time that nothing could have dampened our spirits, and certainly not that. They were really nice about it, too. I also loved your video about places to eat in Paris. It reminded me of the wonderful dinner we had at Le Train Bleu, which was a wedding gift from our friends. Would have loved to have had your recommendations back then. ❤️

[@lliii4725]

Montmarte is beautiful, but you have to watch out that you don't get ripped of by the Romanian maffia or the African strap sellers. Tourists are easy victims for them.

[@BN1960]

The portrait artists will hassle you to draw you and when you say how much they will say - whatever you're comfortable with So you offer 20 and get scowled at and then 50 and eventually you'll part with 100 for what was 20 minutes work for something that when you examine it back at base, probably isn't that good

[@nenriu]

what about the rat problem ..?

[@temperateortropical161]

It's been cleaned up quite a bit. Tourism into Paris might recover after all.
