About Montmartre
The picture-perfect village of Montmartre is the stuff of movies, from Amélie Poulain to Midnight in Paris, and inspiration to many famous painters, like Picasso, Dali, Van Gogh and Monet to Toulouse-Lautrec, Mondrian, and Pissarro. Winding cobblestone streets, romantic staircases, and hilltop vistas seem to have stayed frozen in time, and are at their most enchanting in the early morning hours or at dusk, when the crowds have dispersed. The spectacular Sacré-Coeur basilica represents Paris' highest elevation point and offers a crystal-clear view of the entire city. Other cultural must-sees include the Musée de Montmartre, the Éspace Dali, and the "I Love You" wall, found just behind the bustling Place des Abbesses.
