    Would it be possible to go to Paris without walking one night around Montmartre, descending the narrow streets to Pigalle, and watching one of the liveliest quarters of the world?

    For us that was the whole program, but for who wants something else.

    All other kind of programs are available and openly offered.

  • Montmartre Sacre Coeur: Montmartre

    by Troublesaur Written Jun 4, 2011 1 reviews

    I recently stayed with Feels Like Home in Paris in a beautiful apartment located just beside Scare Coeur. My favorite thing to do in Paris was to grab a picnic and head up to the steps of Sacre Coeur and sit amongst throngs of other people enjoying the amazing views. The whole vibe is amazing with everyone laughing and chatting, some singing (not always in tune!) along to the many musicians who like to hang out there.
    Its a great place to relax and enjoy after a hard day of sight seeing!:)

    Au Baroudeur: A stop "Place des Abbesses"

    Very well located, just at the bottom of the "Butte Montmartre", Au Baroudeur offers great cocktails (taste the irish coffee...humm...) and comfortable sofas or sits. Just relax, while smoking a cigar or a cigarette !

  • Montmartre & Pigalle: disappointed with drunk people and rubbish

    by oliver098 Written Jun 3, 2009 1 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    I went up to the Sacre Coeur at night thinking it might be romantic and beautiful, having seen the church lit up in the distance from my hotel, and I found the grassy areas around the base of it were covered with a lot of people lying around with boxes of beer getting drunk, and with empty bottles and other rubbish thrown all over the place. It looked a complete mess and I felt like the atmosphere was quite rowdy, slightly threatening and depressing. I went back during the day and it was much better and I was amazed how well they had managed to clear up, until I saw an ornamental pool which had a huge pile of rubbish in it, that had been overlooked. The view is good and the building itself is impressive, but I wouldn't particularly advise going up at night unless you are also in the mood to get drunk with a group or friends, in which case maybe it will seem different to you. I found the Pigalle area a night a bit depressingly seedy and got insulted by a lout outside a club because I didn't want to take his business card. I guess it might be different though if you are with a group - I was just taking in the sights on my own.

    Montmartre is alway a place to return. Go there at night and chose an italian, indian, arab, fast food, francese, brazilian (...) restaurant. There will be always a choice to what you want. After, you may seat on a nice cafe, tasting a good wine and just look around.

    Montmartre

    In redesigning Paris, Haussmann pushed many residents to areas such as Montmartre on the outskirts of the city. At this time, Montmartre was officially outside of the city and was free of taxes. This meant alcohol was cheaper here than in Paris itself. Montmartre became the place for nighttime entertainment in Paris which still continues today.

    Montmartre - Steps under Sacre Couer: The steps under Sacre Coeur

    Night on th steps with fire-dance

    The steps just under the Sacre Coeur are polulated by tourists suring the day...when the sun goes down, the place is taken over by the young locals who go there to drink, talk with friends, play music and sing.

    Very authentic and relaxing "nightspot". The only warning: be very careful with the pickpockets! They tend to think that drunk tourists on the steps are easy targets...one of them just sat right beside me after talking to his mate...it was very strange...I just moved over and sure enough, he left as well very soon...

    Dress Code: Very casual

    Montmartre area in Paris

    My last night photo around Paris or rather in the Montmartre Area...
    Taken near our hotel....everything was so quiet & peaceful with the occasional sounds of vehicles like cars & bikes...& sometimes people shouting !
    I like it very much....
    Slowly, we went up the room & slept right away ! Early morning train back to London the following morning & an early evening flight back to Malaysia, also tomorrow !
    A successful night excursion for me !

    Montmartre area in Paris

    On this photo, me & Patrick were back near to our hotel...
    This is the busy Montmartre area where during the day it's hard to even cross the roads ! This photo is taken by me at a roundabout in the busy Montmartre area...just after midnight !
