The Montmartre hill in Paris
Topped by the large and white Sacr?Coeur Catholic basilica, Montmartre is the highest hill of Paris. Very rural until recently, it still keeps a few windmills such as the illustrious "Moulin de la Galette" (right on the picture. Click on the picture to have it full size).

Montmartre is the last village in the big city of Paris. It still keeps a very subtle and unique atmosphere in spite of the affluence of tourists from all over the world.

The many painters of Place du Tertre (left on the picture) are always ready to sketch out your face. They remind us of the many pennyless artists who lived there a Bohemian life in the early 20th century (Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso among others).

Walking at random across the hill, you will discover gardens, old houses, steep streets and staircases with magnificent views on Paris. Pay attention. Montmartre can be very crowded during the weekends. Go there in the morning and on weekdays.
