My daughter and I stayed here, walked these same streets, last October. We stayed in a charming apt. on Rue Custine and I took a picture of my daughter at that quaint flower shoppe. I even got cough medicine at the pharmacy you show. Oh, thank you! This video is wonderful, sending it to my daughter. Can't wait to return to lovely Montmartre. I collected many chestnuts from Montmartre Cemetery and have them in a bowl under a painting of a Montmartre cafe in my home in Atlanta.
We stayed at hotel Roma at the top of Rue Coulincourt our 1st holiday without our parents I was 17. We explored montmartre extensively, still my favourite part of Paris. The year after I was 18 I went on my own and stayed at Tim hotel Montmartre Lovely to see X
Thank you for posting this! Handheld or not, the camera work is excellent, and I started to get a feel for what Montmartre is like, something I'll never be able to do in person. For a half-hour, I was out of my drab apartment and wandering streets of Paris! Merci beaucoup!
Bonjour, I never get tired of viewing and reviewing ALL your wonderful Parisian videos. They are the most effective way of rapidly bring back good memories from my three trips in this lovable city. Thank you very much and, please, don't stop...
Ah memories! My wife, me,14month old and ~4yr old we're on our two week trip of of a lifetime to Paris and the Loire River Valley in mid-May of 1999. We rented an apartment in the 11th Arrondissement and "did" Paris, pushing our kids all over in our double stroller. We ascended the funicular up to Sacre-Coeur on a beautiful day. Such views, the best of Paris (besides the Eiffel Tower). Could hardly believe we were there! Many human statues that were a dramatic challenge (somewhat scary)to our very young children were working hard not moving at the entrance to the Basilica. We did walk through the adjacent commercialized artist square to experience the energy and atmosphere of what it may have been like back in its heyday. We then walked all the down the steep street to the right passing the famous pink restaurant on the right-hand side corner. Finally spilling out next to the originally restored Metro station across from the iconic windmill lit Moulin Rouge.. The square was full of German tour buses whose passengers were there for the "cultural" assets of the area. Our kids were way too young and sleepy to notice. That was twenty years ago. Glad we were able to visit then and not now. We enjoyed perfect weather the entire two weeks! Thanks Paris, you were a perfect unreal fantasy come to life!
I miss it so much. I stayed right here and walked these same streets. That charming flower shoppe, the quaint cafes, exploring the winding, hilly cobblestoned streets...buying crepes fraise et nutella from street vendors and a fresh baguette from the little boulanger (went to two that you show) excellent video work!
Montmartre is the sort of place where you walk down four different streets and yet mysteriously pass the same corner three times, without ever figuring out why. But it's great fun!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Very well done. I went there when I was eighteen, which was like seventeen years ago, and it's still a memory I return to often. Every time I think about wandering the streets of Monmartre I get a natural high. This video amplified that effect so, thank you. I also like that you didn't put any music, the background noise made me feel like I was there. Cheers!
Soy de Buenos Aires, Argentina, y quería felicitarte y agradecerte por este magnífico video. Sinceramente, está muy bien filmado y con buen gusto. Me ha permitido recordar momentos felices durante mi paso por ese bello barrio, Montmartre. Muy linda también la toma final (con las siluetas a contraluz y las nubes pasando...) Muchas gracias y felicitaciones.
this is one of Paris' best! I visited Paris in 2011 and stayed at a hotel very near Montmartre and I instantly fell in love with this lovely place. Love it a million times!Thanks for uploading.
Very beautiful video Good constant clear focus And you used the original ambient natural sounds , of the whole walk Excellent Like I was there with you And you didn't rush through it It was very well thought out like you knew your way around And I like how you pointed out every street name practically """Excellent Video !!!""" ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant video of Montmartre spent a lot of time here in my youth and really miss it.Sadly not as young as I once was and have not been back for quite a few years.This brought back lots of good memorys for me so thanks for posting.
I put in the closed captions myself. I figured that would give viewers the option of narration or no narration, and I didn't want any cheesy music or a droning voice interfering with the actual ambient sounds that you hear when you are actually there.
Statistically it rains every other day, although in fact it's more like several days cloudy and rainy, several sunny, then several rainy again, etc. Overcast days are not unusual. It's a temperature climate that changes at lot depending on whether the wind is blowing from the north or south. The overcast days are usually very light overcasts so they are still very bright.
Love the sound of voices echoing off the apartment walls. I was there for two weeks and didn't spend as much time as I should have in Montmartre. The little time I did spend there was way more enjoyable than the crowds and annoying vendors in the tourist spots. Next time i go, I'll spend more time off the tourist track and more time exploring areas like this. Thank you for posting the video ***** it brings back memories of my trip. :)
Beautifully done! Paris is often described as being a series of small villages, and no part is more "villagey" than Montmartre, especially the area covered in this video. Years ago I had good friends who lived in this part of Montmartre, and as a result I was able to get acquainted with the area and its bistros, cafes and bars, all without a tourist in sight (the gods be praised). Again, terrific job.
Thank you for this video ! I lived in Montmartre, this is where I grew up and I miss it so much !!!! I saw so many streets where I used to walk with my family and friends !!! Montmartre is always in my heart !
Ah la rue ravignan , la rue lepic , les abesses .....que de souvenirs en des lieux exigus mais o combien chargés du caractere unique de ce quartier ! un peu loin des vertes prairies de mon enfance mais tellement inscrits a jamais dans mon coeur .....MERCI pour ce joli reportage !
Very well done, thank you. I lived in Montmartre for many years and always found it a delight. There is always so much to discover, so much sensual delight. You show it well.
C est excellent ! Merci ! J allais a l,école des Sœurs rue Norvins dans mon enfance ..eons ago ! Brought me back ..Love your script and coordination with videos -nice sense of photographie - thank you! A certaine sensibility in your presentation much appreciated :)
Words cannot even BEGIN to express what a treasure your videos are! And also, appreciation for the time involved in making them and in post production! That you have only used the sounds around you, is what makes them all the more such a treasure. Thank you for these gems.
I've been to Paris 5 times and this is definitely off the tourist track. I love these quiet streets to walk on were tourist never get to see and only locals know. Great video.
Merci for this realistic video of the Montmartre area. We are planning a trip to Paris for later this year and have your videos streaming on our tv. Even though we have been to Paris before, in the 1990's, your videos will be of great help.
Thank you Mxsmanic for two fantastic videos. Without comment or music, the feel and atmosphere of these lovely French districts was perfect. I was lost in a world of real France for 3 hours.----- So much so that my legs ached from climbing those hundreds of steps of Montmartre. Thank you again !!
I covered quite a bit of Paris....didn't make it to Montmartre...I enjoyed but don't think I'd have appreciated all the stairways...you were able to embrace the atmosphere and charm beautifully..thank you.
Happy to help. That's the main idea behind my Paris videos: to show you exactly what it looks like so that you have a taste of Paris in advance, or a view of Paris if you can't actually visit the city.
Exquisite! So well done. Your comments were brilliant and the silence otherwise was so relaxing. My husband and are sold and will include Montmartre in our trip this Fall.
Yes, this is one of the reasons why this whole series of places in Paris is so fantastic. The videos capture the ambient sounds of each location in exacting realism. One thing I particularly like is hearing the sound of wind in the trees.
Thnak you very much for taking the time to upload such a lovelr video, I have enjoyed every bit og it!!!. It´s thanks to people like you and your generous sharing of videos what makes the Internet so awesome!!!!
Great video! I've always dreamed of visiting Paris in my retirement, but I'm afraid that's just not in the cards. Your film is the next best thing to being there! Thanks, so much!
thanks much for the video. as a native new yorker, i truly and viscerally got the feel of the rhythm and the heart of paris from this......guess i have to go there now.......
It hasn't really changed in the past eleven years. Once you get off the tourist track, prices drop. There are tons of tiny little stores that eke out a living selling various kinds of merchandise at reasonable prices.
Thank you for your painstaking efforts in making this outstanding video of an outstanding locality in Paris that is more a piece of art than anything else.

Thank you for this video. I really apreciate it. Soon I will be there, in Paris, walking and seeing these streets and beautiful places.
March 2018 I will be in Paris once more! This video is a nostalgic bird's eye view for me. ..Cannot wait to wander the streets and stairs again. I first discovered this area in 1982. And I can still do it..! I only wish I had a camera like yours!
Stunning shooting and really cool tour of the iconic Montmartre! There's always something interesting around the corner in this area of Paris, thanks for sharing!
Très belle vidéo, assez complète avec le nom des rues et jardins, bravo !! Vous avez pris le temps de filmer l'essentiel de ce village. Merci beaucoup 😊🥐☕🇨🇵😘
In this era of jerky, lo-res, awful-sounding youtube video, this is great! I really appreciate you taking the time to post this, since I'll be in Paris in 4 months. Regards!
I wasn't born in Paris but I've lived in the city for many years. Paris is a great city. I've never regretted moving to Paris. Hollywood glamorizes it but even in real life it's wonderful.
Montmarte seems fascinating... How is that every building in Paris is so elegantly designed? From the museum to the simple residences, every building seems to have character..
In this video it was hard to edit things in a way that showed the Montmartre area without confusion. I tried to show a few spots more than once (such as the Dalida statue) to help the viewer stay oriented but it's still a bit confusing, what with all the stairs and all. But it does show some areas off the beaten path, which was the main objective.
Another fantastic video! This time I got a little confused about where we were just a few minutes into the video. At the foot of one of the stairways or streets I was trying to remember if they fixed the funicular that had the accident the summer we were there or if they decided to close it down. Then I remembered we weren't touring Quebec City! You can definitely see the French architecture in the old parts of Quebec City and Montreal and of course the French Quarter in New Orleans!
I miss the brick streets in Wisconsin they were beautiful and never a pot hole now they are all paved and full of pot holes. Paris is beautiful I wish I could visit.
Magnifique, ce parcours libre, sans commentaires idiots qui nous disent quoi penser. Une petite merveille dont je peux faire cadeau à de multiples amis d'autres pays. Merci beaucoup pour votre "œil", un peu tard, certes, je n'ai découvert cette perle qu'aujourd'hui !
Merci! Des commentaires sont disponibles (en anglais) via les sous-titres closed-caption pour ceux qui en veulent. Je n'ai pas mis de commentaires audio pour ne pas perturber l'expérience.
Loving this tour! Just visited Sacre-Coeur and hiked the tower this past May. I'd much rather see and feel this village over a stroll at Vendome or Champs-Elysees!
Thanks for your excellent videos. This one looks very good. I like that area. We needed some shoes for walking and found a store with piles and piles of tennis shoes piled up around the door. And they were cheap as I remember. I remember lots of cheap merchandise shops in that area below the church. But that was 11 years ago.
Le moi d’Août je reste toujours je retrouve les rues de Paris qu' il soit la nuit ou le jour le charme d'une ville que je connait l'histoire comme ma main depuis l'an 52 avant J.-C. Histoire de Paris ce livre raconte tous sur notre ville lumière j’appris beaucoup dans cette ouvrages vive Paris i love !!!!
Oh no, it wasn't the video that confused me - I confused myself! You did a great job, as always. I just forgot it was Paris and not Quebec city for some reason. I like the way you showed spots from the opposite side of the site, Like when you take stairs down to a little park and then you show the view looking back up those same steps from the opposite side of the same park. It not only give you a sense of size, but a better grasp of the neighbourhood - at least imo,
Thanks very much for uploading such a lovely video. I was there 10 days ago, I stayed at Ibis, a lot of places including the bakery store, fish market, La Maison Rose restaurant/cafe... still in my mind. Thanks again.
Thanks for the videos!! I lived in Paris for 1 1/2 years and miss it so much after seeing these shots of the city - proof I need to go back for a visit! :-)
I watched every second of this and thoroughly enjoyed it. although I got a good chuckle at the Carmelite residence, its soaring visions of prison, for some reason, made me wonder why. The maintaining of society is, as you know, 24/7, and this place seems to be doing well. good luck.
It was recorded during the month of March, 2012, so it was actually just before springtime. The trees usually don't start to bloom seriously until mid-April or so in Paris, and the leaves start to fall around late October or early November.
m'a rappelé de bons temps ont changé un peu les choses depuis que je suis, par exemple founicular pas exister, ces maisons, froid ... :'( m'a rappelé combien j'aime ce lieu
