Pigalle and Montmartre
As soon as you get off the metro at Pigalle, you will notice a narrow street heading uphill lined with souvenirshops. Walk past the cheesy souvenir shops, and head up the hill for a wonderful view of all of Paris from Montmartre. Montmartreis where the classic film Amélie Poulin was filmed and its iconic cobblestone streets will carry you past a ton of vintage and ethnic stores. Excavations have shown a settlement existed here since the Gallo-Roman days. The name comes from the legend of Sain...
La Basilique du Sacré Cœur de Montmartre
Consecrated in 1919, Sacré-Cœur Basilica is located at top of a hill called butte Montmartre, and is the highest point in the city (except for the Eiffel tower). It was built as a penance for the local riots and troubles that happened during the Paris Commune of 1871 right here in Montmartre. The Basilica is free to enter and certainly quite impressive to explore. However, it is in coming back out of the Basilica, that you notice the views. Have a seat on the stairs of Sacre Coeur and admire...
Place du Tertre
Right next to the bottom of the stairs at Sacre Coeur, you will notice a series of small streets leading into the heart of Montmartre. Head to Place du Tertre to watch the painters and the caricaturists do their thing. There are plenty of bistros and restaurants with terrasses around the square so sip a glass of wine as you take in the views.

The quartierof Pigalle may be best known for the Moulin Rouge but there is quite a bit of other nightlife in this area of Paris as well.
Montmartre and the 18eme arrondissement is one that attracts a lot of tourists because of its budget friendly hotels, and since there are several metro stationsaround the area that make it very convenient to get around. I should note however, that in Europe when a hotel is rated as 3-star, it is not the same as a 3-star rating in North America. Thi...
