đMontmartre in Paris: Such a Delight to Explore | Easy Hiking Guide
If you have half a day in Paris, I highly recommend popping over to Montmartre. This time, I hiked all the way from the city centerâstrolling and exploring as I wentâand ended up sitting on the steps of SacrĂ©-CĆur, watching the sunset while people danced freely to street music. The vibe was absolutely perfect đđ¶ đș My Easy Hiking Route (Highlights & Recommendations) đ„ Starting from the city center (I set off around 6 PM) â Hiked for about 30 minutes (you can also take the metroâsearch for "Moulin Rouge" as your destination) ⥠Moulin Rouge Snap a photo of the iconic red windmill from the outsideâthatâs all you need! If you want to watch a show, youâll need to book in advance, though. ⥠CafĂ© des Deux Moulins The filming location of AmĂ©lie ââso charming! ⥠Le Mur des Je tâaime (The "I Love You" Wall) A sweet little spot where "I love you" is written in over 300 languages â€ïž. There are singers by the entrance, adding to the lovely atmosphere. ⥠Place du Tertre đ§âđšâ Highly Recommended Tons of artists sketching on the spotâso artistic! Wander around, and the little shops nearby are cute too. ⥠La Maison Rose â Highly Recommended An Instagram-worthy pink cornerâperfect for portraits or wide shots đ·. ⥠Buste de Dalida A monument to the legendary French singer. The streets around it are great for photos too! ⥠Le Passe-Muraille (The Wall-Walker Statue) A fun little statueâlots of people pose with it for photos! ⥠Basilique du SacrĂ©-CĆur â Must-Visit! The white basilica is stunning, and entry is free. Donât forget to go up the steps for a panoramic view of Paris! ⥠La Maison PenchĂ©e â Photo Spot Right next to SacrĂ©-CĆur! With the right angle, the whole building looks like itâs sinking into the hillsideâsuper fun đž. ⥠Sunset on SacrĂ©-CĆur Steps â Strongly Recommended Bring some snacks or a beer, sit back, listen to street performers sing, and watch the sun go down. Everyone dances along togetherâitâs so healing! (Check my profile for the video of everyone dancing freelyâsuch good vibes!) â° Time Reference & Tips The whole route takes about 2-3 hours, including stops for photos and little breaks for a drink. I suggest starting around 6 PMâyouâll reach SacrĂ©-CĆur just before sunset, which is perfect. No need to rush through spots or force yourself to check everything offâwander at your own pace and soak in Parisâ laid-back vibe. đ Tips: My route doesnât involve much uphill walking, but still wear comfortable shoes. Use the restroom beforehandâtheyâre hard to find near SacrĂ©-CĆur. Lots of people bring snacks and drinks to the SacrĂ©-CĆur stepsâitâs so nice to sit and enjoy the street performances. For the return trip, go down the steps from SacrĂ©-CĆur and head to the metro station. #travel #ParisTravel #Montmartre #ParisTravelGuide #MontmartreParis
