Paris. Lesson 4
A Day in Montmartre: Art, Views & Village Charm
Montmartre is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Paris. Known for its artistic past, it was home to famous painters like Picasso and Van Gogh. To visit the famous Sacré-Cœur Basilica, you can walk up the hill or take the funicular for an easier ride.
Once at the top, you’ll get a great view of Paris. Take time to step into the basilica’s beautiful interior and the artists' square nearby, where painters sell their work and even offer portraits.
You can hang out at one of the many cafés in Place du Tertre and watch street performers or people passing by. Montmartre feels more like a village than a city, and it’s perfect for a slow, relaxed visit.
