Paris’ Most Beautiful Neighborhood (Montmartre)

Montmartre might be the most famous neighborhood in Paris. The white domes, the artists, the windmills. And it's also the one people get wrong more than any other. So they pour out of the metro, fight their way up to one square, pay far too much for a portrait they didn't want, and completely miss the quiet village hiding one street over. So today, we're going to give you the one day walk we would take ourselves. Ten stops from the Moulin Rouge at the bottom of the hill, all the way up to the best free view in Paris. Where to stay, where to eat, where to shop, the corners the tour groups never find, and honestly the couple of places would tell you to skip. Now the whole thing is walkable in just one afternoon. But before we take one step, there is one thing that most people get wrong about Montmartre. Because to understand Montmartre, you have to know that it wasn't always about art. So we are starting downhill, at the bottom of the hill, in front of the most famous windmill in the world. Now Montmartre isn't old Paris. It was a separate hilltop away from the city that was swallowed into the city in 1860. But before that... It was a whole separate village. It was a separate village on the outside of town. And it's in the 18th arrondissement, and it's the highest point in Paris, with the hill and the beautiful views. And the name Montmartre means the Mount of the Martyr. Saint-Denis was beheaded here around 250 AD. And the legend says that he picked up... He picked up his head and he walked away with it. That's right. That's the legend. And because it was outside of the old tax wall, wine was cheap, so cabarets, dance halls, and artists flooded in. And at the foot of the hill, Pigalle became the red light district. And even the American G.I.s at World War II called it Pig Alley. So yes, there are still sex shops when you're walking between Pigalle and Blanche de Moulin Rouge. I was actually born not too far from here, and my mom worked not too far from here. So I got to walk there, and as a kid, actually, I was frightened by it. It used to scare me. But it's really not the way it used to be. You know, like, I would not feel comfortable bringing my small kids up and down this street. I'd take a different route. Well, mostly because you don't want them to ask. I don't want to answer those questions. It's not because there's anything going on. It could be shocking to somebody who isn't used to seeing something like that, but it's not unsafe. Right. And just to give you a point of reference here, we visited an apartment, like, literally right near the sex shop that was completely redone. It was a two-bedroom apartment with a view of the Moulin Rouge for 1.5 million euros. So just to tell you the type of real estate that you have in this neighborhood, this is not a seedy area anymore. Not at all. Now, the Moulin Rouge itself, it was opened in 1889, the same year as the Eiffel Tower. And it's the birthplace of the modern can-can. Toulouse-Lautrec put it on the map with his posters, and it's still a working cabaret. It's a pricey dinner show, and it's worth it once in your life. But you don't need a ticket to appreciate it from the street, and there's a lot of people here that take pictures of it all the time. Now, in 2024, the wings of the Moulin fell down in the middle of the night, and they were down for about six months, but they put them back up, and I can pretty much assure you that they are on for good now. They've used good engineering. You know what's cool about that? What? All of the people that step on this little thing above the Metro, they get up there for their Marilyn Monroe shot, because when the Metro goes by, the skirts blow. So people climb up there and get really fun shots of the Moulin Rouge. So take your photo and your selfie of the windmill, then turn your back on the crowds, and let's go right up the hill, because the real Montmartre is straight up the hill. So by the way, when you do Montmartre, it's a leg day, okay? Every day is leg day in Montmartre. Yeah. It's uphill. You better have good walking shoes. Where Saint-Germain is mostly all flat, so is Le Marais. Not Montmartre. It's a hill. But if you go up and make some stops, your legs can rest. Oh, look at that, darling, the Café des Deux Moulins from Amélie. If you know the movie Amélie Poulain, Amélie worked right here, and they filmed the thing right here. But let me just say, stop and take a picture, because when you go inside, you're paying way too much for ordinary French food, and there's so many better places to eat. Yeah, for sure. Go right up the hill. We'll let you know later on in the best restaurants, but... It's a quick pit stop and move on. Yeah. Just 10 minutes up the hill, you're in a village square that feels nothing like the boulevard you just left. The heart of the real Montmartre, cafes, a carousel, beautiful trees, locals actually living their lives, this is where you want to slow down. And the metro entrance is one of only two original Art Nouveau glass canopies left in Paris. It was designed by Hector Grémyard. So make sure to look up when you go through there. Right across from that metro entrance is the Meux Je T'aime, which is the wall of I love you's. There's 300 ways to say I love you in 250 languages. It's pretty extraordinary. Yeah. And unfortunately, it is now closed because they had a construction issue. Well, the wall behind it was getting damaged. Yeah, so they had to cover it up and it's no longer accessible. But you can still go through the passage and have a look. All right, so now let's talk about where to stay in Montmartre. Because it's a fun place to stay, but there's not a lot of choices comparatively to Le Marais or Saint-Germain. It's actually very limited. So there are a couple of hotels that are going to be in the budget, economy, affordable type of hotel. And the first one is Tim Hotel, which is on Place Émile Goudreau. And it's a great little hotel. Actually, a lot of our fans have gone to that hotel. It's affordable. It's comfortable. And there's one of the best views around right there. And a charming little Wallace Fountain right outside the door where you can fill your water bottle. Yeah. The next one is Citadine Montmartre. So Citadine is actually going to be down the hill, close to Place Clichy. You know what's really cool about it? What is cool about it? There's a whole system of Citadine hotels around Paris. And if you're staying in one, if you need to use a restroom in another part of town that has a Citadine, you can come in and use the restrooms, get a fresh water in the lobby and whatnot because they're all linked together. And that's a really cool feature. That is actually really cool. Now for the sweet spot. So if you want like a little bit of better quality hotel, like a four-star, Le Relais Montmartre, which is right off of Le Café de Demoulins, rue Lepic. It's a really nice, comfortable hotel with a nice little patio. And it's on a really nice, quiet side street, so it shouldn't be as noisy as other places. That is actually a great point. And for the splurge now, which one is your favorite hotel? It's hard to find. It's a little bit on the back side of the boot, but the Hotel Particulaire, I stayed in the room where I'm not going to say which celebrity stayed, but we did a whole video about it. But this is a quiet place, just a handful of rooms and oh my God, is it fabulous. There's a restaurant inside the hotel that is not Michelin rated, but it might as well be. It's knocking on the door. Because the food was excellent. Yeah. But it's a beautiful little hotel. Now, if you want to find a great hotel in Paris, we've put together a guide of 125 of our favorite hotels in Paris. And all of the arrondissements. Sorted by arrondissement. So you can scan the QR code on the screen or click on the link in the description and see if it's a good fit for you. So these are the hotels that we would stay in if we were staying in Montmartre. But now let's go in our favorite street for shopping. Okay, I'm willing. Let's go. If there's one street to shop on in Montmartre, this is it. Rue d'Abbesse and La Pique, which is the one we took to get here. So here are some of my favorite shops in Montmartre. There is Chocolate at Chocolat et L'Innée. They make the most amazing chocolate right on the spot and they make it so beautiful. Like it's delicious and gorgeous. It's works of art. And their macarons, also made right here in the store, are exquisite. And when we stopped in there to say hello on this walking tour. This one is crumbling. I know. I had it in the bag waiting for a minute. But this is the black sesame macaron. And it's not industrial, which is why it's breaking apart. Because it's delicate. That's heaven. This one is less delicate. It's pistachio. I think this one has my name on it. It might. Another one is Lemon Story. And it might sound crazy, but this store is all about things that are made with lemon. And it's grown by a family down in the south of France. All of the lemons in the Grove. And they have extraordinary products made with lemon. And while we're on the lemon theme, there's Blue Lemon. Not food. This is leather goods, bags, belts. Just a really great spot for good quality, affordable handbags in Paris. And they do give a discount for LaFrenchie's fans, so be sure to mention that. And as long as you're on this street and if you're looking for, I don't know, some makeup or some beauty products, there's a Monop Beauty, which is affiliated with the Monoprix store. But this one is only beauty products. So if you need to squeeze it in while you're right here in Montmartre, that's a good spot. But you get a big discount if you use the LaFrenchie's QR code at Pharmacie Monge. Now if I'm looking for souvenirs to take with me when I go back home or bring somebody who's visiting to a shop, in the Place de Terre, there is actually a very nice souvenir store. It's reasonably priced. They have different items than in the other places. Au Sange Kili. It's the Reading Monkey. The Reading Monkey. And it's a really adorable little shop. I recommend you go there. And there's one more store that you can find all around Paris, which is Pilonnes. And they have funky little things. And this is the store where I buy lots of little gifts for my family back home, and my glasses. Now, my darling, how do you tell the difference between a tourist trap shop and a regular shop? Well, I'm going to tell you. Tell me. Basically, the one from the Anvers metro station, all the way up the hill, this street is lined up with tourist shop after tourist shop. When they're all together, that's a really big sign. But when they're all together, and the merchandise on the street in front of every single shop looks exactly the same, they went to the same buyer, loaded it in, and, you know. Yeah. Now, ironically, Montmartre is very touristic, but it's a neighborhood before anything. It's a very artistic, bohemian neighborhood. Van Gogh used to live right here with his brother Theo. He didn't live here for long, but he actually lived here for two years. And you can tell that he was here in Montmartre because all the paintings that he did when he was in Montmartre were actually a lot lighter in colors. They are. It's just a fun anecdote that you had a lot of artists that lived here. Yeah. Picasso, Roy Noir. Roy Noir, yeah. A lot of them. Yeah. All right, so now this is the shopping, and it's time to get to the top of the hill. But there's a hard way and an easy way, so take me to the easy way, please. All right, let's go. So instead of taking screenshots of this entire video, we've put together this 10-stop walking itinerary into a PDF download with Google Map links to every stop, so you can follow this exact same route step by step. Just scan the QR code on your screen or click on the link in the description and see if it's a good fit for you. You could walk up the 300 stairs of Montmartre, or you could do what we do and take the funicular. Now, the funicular is a little cable railway that goes straight up the hill, and it takes a standard Metro Navigo ticket, and it saves your legs for the walking that's still to come. I think there's more than 14 people on this unit. The sign said 14 people, but let's go check it out. She's pretty. It is. There are lots of steps on the lawn at the Square Louise Michel. And even if you ride up, the terrace steps below the Basilica are where everyone gathers at the golden hour for a bottle of wine and the buskers playing. And the view is absolutely free. Right over here at the top of the funicular and those stairs is the reason that everybody is coming to Montmartre. Now the Sacré-Cœur is the second most visited monument in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. And most people don't know why it's actually blazingly white. Now it's built from a travertine stone that secretes calcite when it rains. So the Basilica literally bleaches itself clean and gets whiter over time. It never needs washing. And as a French guy, I didn't even know that fact. Now it was built between 1875 and 1914 as an act of national penance after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the bloody Paris Revolt, which is partly why some Parisians have complicated feelings about it. It's Roman Byzantine, not Gothic, which is why it looks unlike anything else in Paris. Even though it's free, there's a line. Of course. It goes quick. Very quick. So one thing it's important to remember is that this is a neighborhood church. It's not a tourist attraction, even though it might seem like it. So when you come in here, you're going to be quiet and respectful. Oh, that's a beautiful statue. Now it's free to enter, but as soon as you enter, look up. It is one of the largest mosaic in the world, and it covers the ceiling above the altar. You can just feel how sacred it is here. I feel like my cells are moving. So for a few euros and a few hundred steps, you can climb all the way up the tower. So after you visit the Basilica, you come over here to go upstairs. All right, you pay two tickets. Yes. OK. And yours. You remember the winding stairs at Notre Dame? No. It's tighter and windier. OK, count them. I can't do. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. So when we told you that Montmartre was a leg day, we weren't kidding. I'm starting to get dizzy from these tight circles. There's 236 more stairs. What? 236 more. After all this, they shouldn't have the decency to have chairs at the top. Yeah. A bottle of champagne, too. Need a view a little bit. We're not there yet. 236, 237, 238, 239, 240. Here's your first amazing view. And a place to catch your breath. Oh, wow. You can see the street that goes towards Place de Terre. Yeah, Place de Terre. I have climbed to the top of Notre Dame. I have climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. And I don't know why this one kicks my butt more than the others. Maybe it's because I've been walking around leg day in Montmartre all day. But this one kicks my butt. Yeah, it is a tough one. It's not over yet. 93 steps left. 93 more. Oh, man, these are steep. Yeah. It's not easy, but it's good. Oh, wow. And another tight turn. Yeah. Yep. This is more like a ladder. And a maze. Holy moly. Eight more steps. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The good news is they do have a place to sit. They do. Oh, wow. I want to call it right now. It's totally worth it. So, you got the Eiffel Tower and you have the Arc de Triomphe. Then, actually, you can see down here, right there, you see Place du Tertre. You see La Défense, which is the business district. And that's all the west side of Paris with the hills all the way in the back. What a time to be. It's gorgeous. So, you're on the top of the dome and it just basically... Walk around and catch all the views. Yeah. Oh, there are more stairs. See, they said there was only eight more stairs. That's the line of people all the way at the bottom waiting to get inside the church. What a view. What an absolutely breathtaking view on a sunny day like this. Oh. I could stay up here for a long time and not just to avoid the stairs down. I'm just going to be honest with you. I've never done it. Yeah, I have. Yeah, it was just a mistake. I'm not going to do this thing. And it's absolutely the most beautiful view of Paris. 360 degrees. This puts the view from the Eiffel Tower to shame. You know, the Arc de Triomphe is fabulous. Arc de Triomphe is nice. It's 362, but it's not nearly as... It's lower. If you can muster the stairs, I'm going to tell you the stairs is something. Yeah. But once you're here, it's like, wow. Wow. You won't regret it. We can't talk about visiting Montmartre without talking about the scams. Yeah. Unfortunately, where you have a lot of tourists, you're going to have some scammers. So one of them are the little bracelet that you'll usually find in the steps from the Basilica that's behind us all the way down to the base of the hill. Yeah. They'll actually, you know, like walk up, and the average person is walking around with their hands just however they are. And they'll just come up and, like, you know, get your arm and start tying a thing on your arm. Right. By the time you realize what's going on, they've got a knot on your arm. And, you know, they're not dangerous. They're just trying to tie a little love bracelet on your arm that you can give a donation for. Right. And they're definitely expecting it and belligerent if you don't give them something. So I usually walk around Montmartre with my hands in my pockets so that nobody can grab my arm and tie a bracelet on. Right. The second one is the survey taker, those ladies that are walking about, and they want a signature for the death and donations. They usually start by saying, do you speak English? Yeah. That's the first clue. Another thing that you have is the three-cup shell game that you'll see in the streets or in the area around Montmartre. I don't know why people still fall for this trick. I get it because they're there with somebody on their team as they're playing, and it looks like somebody's winning. And it looks like you can win because their team member is winning. So people get excited and want to play. And, again, they, you know, are actively inviting you in. Don't go in. You're a spectator. If you need to look, take a quick peek and keep walking. And, obviously, pickpockets. This is the place where I'm just going to put everything into my bag, nicely locked. Lock it up. Because it's very crowded, and sometimes you're elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder with people. So take the view in and walk around the back because 30 seconds from all these crowds is the beautiful square everyone came for. So this little square is where Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh, and artists like that went to work. And today, it's the most touristy spot in the entire hill. So let's talk about how you can actually enjoy it. The real history? Well, a century ago, this was the beating heart of the art world. Picasso, Modigliani, Utrillo, and all of these guys were up here when the rent was nothing. That legacy is real and worth honoring. But today, with the portrait artists, it's mostly a hustle. And they'll start sketching you unasked and then demand 40 to 100 euros. And if you actually want one, agree to the price in advance in writing before a single line is drawn. Otherwise, enjoy watching the graphics. So we had our portrait drawn here. Yes. And what you want to know is if you want to have your portrait done, which is a great thing to have done. It's a good souvenir. Make sure you get one of the artists that is sitting in a chair on the plaza, and they're paying for their space. There is a little thing here. If you can actually see on the ground, there's a little number. And that actually is their number. So that's the person that you want to... That's who you support. Yeah, exactly. And ignore the guys that are walking about. They're usually right outside the square, and they hustle a little bit, and then they ask people to... It can be annoying. Just say, no. How do you say it? No. No, merci. And the restaurants around the square are classic tourist traps. High prices, tired food, multilingual photo menus. Just don't eat here. So now we're going to go inside that little church right here, which actually is a little hidden gem that most people skip. But it's absolutely gorgeous. The gem inside all this crush is the Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montmartre. Right beside this square is one of the oldest churches in Paris. It's quiet, free, and ignored by about 95% of the people who are standing just a few feet away. So soak up the atmosphere, keep your wallet closed, and follow us to the other stops for food and shopping. All right, so now we're going to go and grab a bite to lunch. And in Montmartre, there is an abundance of tourist traps, but there are a few places that are amazing. And I'm taking Colleen today to one of our favorites in all of Paris, actually. Yeah. And it's called O's. And look it up. It's in a little side street. See, there's not much around. And I know you're excited to come here. I am. Bonjour. Bonjour, ça va bien? Ça va bien? Oui. Super. Oui. Same table. Bonjour. Merci. So cheers to you, my darling. It's very particular because, and it's actually what we've been telling you, is the least amount of stuff they have on their menu, the better it is. So here they have two appetizers, two main course, two dessert. You pick one or the other. And just about every day or every week, it changes. So whatever you ate last time, it's not here. And then next time is a new thing. So it just so happens that Antoine's brother, Vincent, is doing a tour of Montmartre, a food tour. And, well, guess who walked in on our lunch today? So there's some fans sitting at the next table along with Antoine's brother. So doing a food tour when you first arrive in Paris is a great way to discover an area like Montmartre because you have a guide that is going to take you around. And on top of that, they're going to feed you along the way little nibbles here and there. So Vincent does Montmartre, Le Marais, and Saint-Germain. So we're going to put a QR code right there. If it's something that you're thinking about doing, just check it out and see if it's a good fit for you. Yeah, because they go in the little shops so that you can see how it is to interact with the shopkeepers and everything on top of trying stuff and seeing the neighborhood. It's a good idea. This is a corn soup with crispy onions and red onions in there, and it looks delicious. It's divine. Yeah? Yeah. It's yummy. And I don't remember. Oh, mine is mackerel. You have mackerels, little fishes. Oh, I love mackerel and sardines. What is that? You're putting it on a tomato? It felt like a watermelon. A watermelon. Interesting. Oh, it's so fine. You're happy? Watermelon, radishes, a little bit of oil, very light, not too... It looks like you got the right one for you and I got the right one for me. That is correct. It's good when that happens. Oh! Oh, wow, look at this. You can see all of those little bubbles in here. And I think that, I don't know if I'm supposed to, but I think I want to put some of that bubble right on top of the fish. I don't know if you're supposed to be doing that. I don't care because you know what? Even if there are rules, you don't have to follow the rules. You do you and eat how you want to eat. That's what I say. I'm going to just take my spoon because people can laugh if they want to, but I think those are beef. Let me try that. That looks absolutely... It looks tender. It's kind of like a mushroom emulsion sauce with a little bit of a basil green oil in there. Uh-huh. Some long skinny shreds of zucchini. Yeah. And that's a sweet potato. That's a sweet potato? That's a sweet potato. That's delicious. That's the thing about this place. Like everything is yummy. Oh, man, this is good. Oh, this is a roasted carrot. A stick of carrot. This is amazing. I want to try it. It's very tart and I want to say like a puree of arugula or something like that. Okay. I think that that's what it is. It's not peas, right? Definitely not peas. Such a great meal. Bon appetit. So finding a decent restaurant in Montmartre can be really tricky because it's highly touristic. We actually have the worst meal of our life. Ever in my life, not just in Paris. In Place du Tertre. We had a roasted chicken with French fries and they found a way... And they screwed it up. And they found a way to screw it up. So in any case, O's is definitely a go-to place for us. And it's not just Montmartre, but it's in Paris. This is Michelin rated. It's a Bib Gourmand. So this is amazing food. 29 euros per person for a Michelin rated restaurant. If you're just going to have one of each. Split an appetizer, split a dessert in two plates. That's unheard of. I mean, obviously it doesn't include your alcohol. And they have good bubbles. Just saying. Cheers to you, my darling. Cheers. Another one would be Le Sanglier Bleu, which is down the hill. So that's right next to the Moulin Rouge. And it is a very Parisian, local feeling experience with good food. And there's a lot of people that eat there right before the Moulin Rouge show. So you are having dinner and then all of a sudden the restaurant empties out. And you're wondering, where did they all go? Well, they're all at the show, right? Which the opposite side of that is, if you want to make sure you can get a seat, make a reservation or just pop in right about the time that the show is starting. Right. Another one is Bouillon. It's right by the Pigalle metro station. So this is classic French fare. Super affordable. Very casual. It's not amazing food. No. But if you have a family, like kids or a large group, everybody's going to be happy and they're not going to spend a fortune there. Now, we've put together a list of 125 of our favorite restaurants all over Paris, sorted by arrondissement, from bistronomy to fine dining to casual dining. All the yummy stuff we've been eating. Exactly. All the restaurants that Colleen and I have gone to. So you can scan the QR code right here or click on the link in the description and see if it's a good fit for you. So that was lunch. But now let's go find the windmill that started it all and the painting that made it famous. There he is. There used to be over a dozen windmills on the hill alone. And two of them are still standing. Now, everybody knows the Moulin Rouge, but this one, Le Moulin de la Galette, is one of them. Now, Montmartre was a farmland. The windmills, ground flour and pressed grapes, only two survived. The Blu de Fin and the Radet, together known as the Moulin de la Galette. Now, the galette referred to a little bread the mill sold on Sunday to visitors. It has nothing to do with the crepes that now you eat all over Paris. Renoir painted the Balle du Moulin de la Galette right here in 1876. A sun-dappled crowd dancing on a Sunday afternoon. It's now one of the most valuable impressionist paintings in the world. And right here, you're standing in the scene. Today, Le Moulin de la Galette is a restaurant, and you don't need to eat there. It's mostly a tourist trap. We did a whole video review of this restaurant, so you can check it out and see if maybe you want to sit in there. It's kind of cool, but you can take a picture and keep walking. Now, windmills and painters are the moment everybody knows. But the next stop is something that most tours never show you. Now, a quick thing. This walking itinerary will also be available on our app coming soon. Fill out the waitlist form, and we'll shoot you an email once the app is live by the end of October 2026. And I'm going to put a link in the description, and you can also scan the QR code and see if it's a good fit for you. Which way? This way. Here? Now, after all that uphill, it's good to go downhill. Yeah. Oh, hi, how are you? Thank you. Is this your shop? Not mine, but like... You work here. Okay, very cool. Oh, wow, look at this. Yeah. These things would make a beautiful memory of Paris. A little Christmas ornament? You have a moulin, a little windmill. Thank you. Bye-bye. Yep, the Van Gogh voyage. Yeah, very colorful. You see, he was very colorful when he was in Montmartre. He was in a better mood, let's say. Yeah. Well, this is the one that everybody wants to take a picture of, the Maison Rose. Yeah. The pink house. And that's another one where you come here like at two o'clock, and there's like 150 people trying to do a selfie. Yep, exactly. And it's La Maison Rose. But there's something else cool over here. Tucked behind all those crowds is a working vineyard in the heart of Paris. And it's the part of Montmartre that almost nobody sees. The Clos de Montmartre is an actual working vineyard planted on the hillside, producing a few hundred bottles a year. There's a harvest festival, the Fête des Vendages, every October. This is a real hidden gem. You can only glimpse it through the fence for most of the year, but that's part of the charm. There's the Museum of Montmartre and the Renoir Gardens, which is Renoir's old studio, the gardens overlooking the vineyard, and the story of the hill's artist. It only costs a little, it's rarely crowded, and it's one of the most underrated small museums in Paris. And then there's the Maison Rose. This is the little pink house that Utrillo painted. And then there's the Le Pain Agile, century-old cabaret where Picasso drank. And it still hosts traditional French chassons at night. And the Rue d'Abreuvoir is beautiful and heavily photographed now, so you won't be alone there. But it's worth the stroll. Just don't expect solitude because it's going to be crowded. I assume that most of you will not know who this lady in the bust is. I didn't. Yeah, her name is Dalida. She was a famous French singer, actually originally from Egypt. She was a beautiful, voluptuous, blonde-haired woman and sang very romantic songs. Passionate stuff. Yeah, passionate songs. And she actually lived right here. If you noticed, her breasts are a little bit discolored because, well, I'm a... They get polished off, let's just say. People want to have a touch. So her name was Yolanda Gigliotti. That doesn't sound Egyptian. Nope, sounds Italian. I thought she was Egyptian. That's how rumors get started, darling. All right, so look, I... If you know the answer. If you know the answer to Dalida, where she was originally from, put it in the comments below because we read them and... But that name sounds... Very Italian. Not at all Egyptian. No. Check this thing out. And then there's the Paste Mural, a bronze man climbing out of the wall, and the Place Marcel-Anne. It's from the beloved French short story and a fun 30-second find. Yeah, my feet are done with this long day. Cobblestone. Ooh la la. You've got to have comfortable shoes. Comfortable shoes and good legs. Right. If you have mobility issues, literally ask them to drop you at Place de Terre and then make your way down. Actually, you can have them drop you off right in front of Sacré-Cœur. You can. Have them drop you off at the top and then work your way down. And it has happened. It has happened that they drop you off at the bottom by the funicular. Yeah, they say they can't go up, but make them take you up. They can. Yeah, just say. They totally can. Just say that you have a problem with your legs and they'll take you up. This is the Montmartre that we fell in love with, and there's only one way to end this day. Cheers, my darling. Cheers. That's how you end a day in Montmartre. That's how I do. If you're going to do it. Might as well do it well, with bubbles. We end our tour of Montmartre the way we always like to do it, here on a terrace with a glass of something with bubbles, enjoying the best views. This is one of our favorite places in Montmartre to grab a drink. It's called Le Relais de la Butte. I love this place because you can sit here, have a glass of champagne, see the people walking by on their tour, and have, you know, the Invalides in Paris. The Dome of the Invalides. The Dome of the Invalides in the back, and a beautiful view of Paris. And a great place to rest your feet. Yeah, that's how you do it. Now, we've been coming to Montmartre for many, many… Yeah, decades. Where are we? We have a cycle car behind us. So, let's go get a drink. I don't need one. Okay, good. Let's go get a drink. This has always been one of our pit stops. Well, yeah. I mean, it's classic. But being here over the decades with our kids, my parents, you know, having the pictures that remind me of the times… I remember you with Charlie in the steps. Yeah. And, you know, you were so tiny. The kids want to slide down. It's like, I'll help you. Yeah, now he's 6'2", 200 pounds. All grown up. And with Charlie and your dad on Place du Tertre. And taking the train in with Lizzie when she was little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always wanted to be crazy. Yeah. It's a place to build memories. Yeah, we always take friends here, you know, to grab a bite to eat or have a drink. Yeah, or just walk around and enjoy the spot. Yeah. It's a beautiful place to walk. Yeah. Hurts your feet, but it's great for your eyes and your heart. Now, one last thing. This whole 10-stop walk is on our app. It was 2.9 kilometers or 1.8 miles, and you can do it in about an hour if you walked from beginning to end without stopping. And, of course, if you're going to do it like us, I can stop everywhere, it's going to take you at least four to five hours. It is turn by turn, every staircase, every stop in order, for less than a cafe that you would have wasted at one of the tourist traps we pointed out to you. Now, the app is free to download, but the walking tour is just a few bucks. You grab the Montmartre route and put it in your pocket for your trip. And if you already have the app, this route just drops right in. Now, we're going to be walking a different neighborhood in Paris, just like we did with Saint-Germain or this one. 10-stop walking itinerary with the best places to see, where to eat, where to stay, and where to have fun. Now, if that's the kind of videos that you like, please make sure to subscribe because we're going to be doing all the neighborhoods in Paris, and then we'll extend to some of the cities around France.
