 Vineyard by Helga67
On the hill of Montmartre, you will find the last vineyard of Paris. It is rather small. On the first Saturday of October you can see how they celebrate the grape harvest.

 Sacre Coeur by Helga67
Before you go inside, look up at the facade. You will notice two equestrian statues. The one on the left is Louis the Saint, and on the right Jeanne d'Arc. In the middle, you can see a statue of Christ.
I was really amazed by the beauty on the inside of the church. I liked this church very much, even more than the Notre Dame. Don't miss it!

The square is lined with eateries should the trek to this area induce hunger.
Plenty of "I've been to France" t-shirt stores.

 Sacre Coeur by Helga67
To make the best pic of the white basilica, go in the morning on a sunny day. You will have the best view from the garden at the bottom of the hill. Looking up at this bright basilica high on that hill is just breathtaking.
This church was built after the French-German war in 1870. Two business men made a promise that if France would be spared from the attack, they would have a church built to honour the Holy Hart of Christ.

After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, it was proposed to construct a church to the Sacred Heart on the butte Montmartre as an act of national pentinence.
he plans for the new basilica called for an edifice of Romano-Byzantine style, and the first stone was laid in 1875. Completed in 1914, it was not consecrated until 1919 after World War I had ended
The interior of the church contains one of the worlds largest mosaics, and depicts Christ with outstretched arms. The nearby bell tower contains the ``Savoyarde''. Cast in Annecy in 1895, it is one of the worlds heaviest at 19 tons Leave a Comment

Make sure you are in a good shape to climb the stairs to the Sacré Coeur. It's only 150 m, but it's a bit of a climb.
The only thing I dont like here, is the fact that on your way up, African peddlers continually bother you with some colored strings. I have no idea about their intentions with these strings, but I thought it was very annoying.
Well, I guess this makes part of the ambience... :-)
The basilica is nicer from the outside than fom the inside. It's not a very old church. It's construction, which started in 1870 was finished in 1914.
For those who don't like to climb the stairs, there is a cable railway. Metro tickets are valid. Leave a Comment

Right behind the Sacre Coeur you'll find a web of small streets that lead to a cool square that I've forgotten the name of. Here there are plenty of places to eat, drink and enjoy the afternoon.
One tip: If you arrive in the area on the Metro and there's an elevator to the street level, take it. You may see a ton of people waiting for the elevator, but there's a reason. In this part of Paris you're way down beneath the ground. When we got there we thought "forget waiting, let's take the stairs". 3 days later we reached the street level. Leave a Comment

Drink a coffee in "place de tartre" while looking at amateur painters do their extraordinary job.
End up in Sacr? Coeur church. Up in the hill, you get the best view ever of Paris.
In Montmarte, believe me, you'll get the chance to imagine Renoir or Toulouse-Lautrec are about to pass waking any minute. Leave a Comment Address: MontmartreDirections: Take metro number 12, direction "Porte de la Chapelle" and get off in "Abesses" station. Go all the way up to Montmarte by waking.Website: http://www.sacre-coeur-montmartre.com/
