Join me for part 2 of my walk through the Montmartre area in Paris, France. In this video I explore the enchanting backstreets as raindrops dance on cobblestones. I wander past centuries-old buildings, cozy cafés, and secret nooks that have inspired artists, poets, and dreamers for generations. Grab your umbrella, embrace the drizzle, and let’s get lost in the magic of Montmartre!
I wrap things up near the Montmartre Funicular, a unique inclined transportation system that serves the local neighborhood.
About the area:
Montmartre is a large hill in Paris’s northern 18th arrondissement. It stands 130 meters (430 feet) high and lends its name to the surrounding district, which is part of the Right Bank. This area is primarily known for its artistic history, the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur that crowns its summit, and its vibrant nightlife as a nightclub district. Another church on the hill, Saint Pierre de Montmartre, was built in 1147 and served as the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Montmartre was a hub for artists, including Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Vincent van Gogh. The area has also been featured in several hit films. If you ever find yourself in Paris, Montmartre is definitely worth a visit!
