Back pathway to Sacré Coeur: Interesting Site
The streets of Montmartre are a lovely, unexpected side of Paris.
Le Consulat: Commercial Business
Le Consulat was featured in the 1996 Woody Allen film Everyone Says I Love You.
We found some delicious gelato on the way up!
I got some Stracciatella! Delicious!
Sacré-Coeur: Architectural Object
On the top of Montmartre stands the basilica Sacré-Coeur. The iconic structure is not as old as much of Paris, as it was only finished in 1916.
Here is a rare picture of all 5 roommates!
The views from the top are incredible! You can see all of Paris.
We found this bit of street art on a pathway climbing down from the Sacré-Coeur. I thought comparing the Sacré-Coeur to the Disney castle was appropriate, given the enchanting nature of the neighborhood.
Climbing down from Montmartre can be just as enchanting as climbing up it.
I love finding street art in what seems like the most unlikely of places. The mix of old Paris and urban street art is a combination that I find very appealing.
Moulin Rouge: Tourist Attraction
We stopped by the Red Light District to get a picture of the Moulin Rouge. I generally avoid this neighborhood for obvious reasons, but the Moulin Rouge is still a very popular location.
Hotel SAFI: Two Star Hotel
This is Hotel SAFI at 2 Passage Lathuile, where double rooms start at 40 Euros. This hotel is further from Montmartre than many, but is very inexpensive.
