Take a trip to Montmartre

Experience the vast Parisian skyline from high heights by taking a trip to Montmartre. Lose yourself in the steep cobbled streets that lead up to the demanding Sacré CÅ“ur, strolling past inviting little cafés and bistros in the vibrant Latin quarters. Montmartre is widely associated with famous artists, such as landscape painter, Georges Michel, due to its lure of rustic beauty. The neighborhood proudly boasts a bohemian culture that was purely based on a critique of the decadent society below. It’s entertainment of raucous cafe-concerts, and ‘untasteful,’ crude theater was often in place to subvert the restrictive and bourgeoisie nature of the Third Republic. Montmartre has always been heavily identified with underground politics and unconventionality, which in many ways adds to its rich cultural heritage and authenticity. The Moulin Rouge lays almost invisible in a grotty street of run-down businesses at the lower end of Montmartre, although it’s still offering a range of many cabaret shows. The Sacré CÅ“ur itself, meaning sacred heart, governs proudly at the peak of the sharp hill, boasting its outstanding beauty and grandeur. At the highest point of the city, the structure was completed in 1919 and is devoted to the sacred heart of Jesus. Its dominance and sheer size are breathtaking, and the views it looks out on are just as magical, and an essential way to discover the city.
