Montmartre is a hill 130 metres high, in the north of Paris in the 18th arrondissement, a part of the Right Bank, primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit.
Along the road to the hill are a lot of shops, including souvenir shops. I find souvenir shops here are among the cheapest in France.
You have a choice of climbing the stairs or riding the Montmartrobus (electric bus of Montmartre).
Mesmerized by all the buildings on the slope of the hill.
Thank you dear husband for a trip to Paris. Anniversary present after 20 years of marriage.
Montmartre means 'mountain of the martyr'; it owes its name to the martyrdom of Saint Denis, who was decapitated on the hill around 250 AD.
Having a nice time.
The name of the building is Sacré Cœur.
