Montmartre is our next walking route through Paris, today’s will be better known than the previous one, the one with the galleries. By the way, have you seen our route through the galleries and covered passages of Paris<\/a><\/em><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was saying, today will be a more well-known route, but we will surely discover some different places. Travel companions, welcome to Montmartre!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route through Montmartre<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

-On this route we will do approximately 3 kilometers, counting from the first point to the last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-The cost will be \u20ac1.90 as we will have a metro ticket. Everything will be counted from the first point, you will see how you get to the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous route, the one of the galleries, ran for the most part in the 9th district ending in the 1st district, today we will go through Montmartre, so we will walk through a part of the 18th district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place d’Anvers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Place d’Anvers will be our starting point and from there we will take rue de Steinkerke. We got there by metro as we were not staying nearby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk along the street is already picturesque, because in the distance you can start to see the Sacre Coeur. Surrounded by shops we continue the walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have one, take advantage of buying a bottle of water at a mini market, since if it’s hot you’ll need it for the hike, as there will be many climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose to do this tour early in the morning, but it can also be a good option in the afternoon to see the sunset from the foot of the Sacre Coeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of this street we come to the Saint Pierre carousel. Those who have seen the film Am\u00e9lie will remember it from some scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautiful carrousel of Montmartre dates back to the eighteenth century and is Venetian in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there we are only a few steps from the funicular that will take us up to the Sacre Coeur, or you also have the option of taking the stairs, but I preferred to save my energy for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also take bus 40 if you don’t want to walk, but… I think it’s worth the walk. \u25baLine 40 stops <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funicular de Montmartre<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The price of the ride is the same as a metro ticket \u20ac1.90. If you have not purchased one of the transport passes (such as Paris Visit or Navigo) you have an option to save on tickets, which is to buy a pack of 10 tickets. Did you see our post with the tourist passes in Paris?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’re at a ticket machine at any metro station, you punch in a single ticket, and there you’ll be presented with the option to buy tickets individually for \u20ac1.90 or in packs of ten for \u20ac16.9. It’s a small saving, but a saving nonetheless. Here at the funicular you have a ticket office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Montmartre funicular has been in operation since 1900, having been remodeled several times since its opening. The journey takes just over a minute and carries millions of passengers a year. Hours are from 6 a.m. to 12:45 a.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basilica of Sacre Coeur<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As soon as we arrive, we are greeted by the views of the city and the beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission to the basilica is free, and its interior is really worth it. The tail is long but usually moves quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to go up to the dome if it has a cost and it is \u20ac 7, we suppose that the views from there must be very good, but as we have not yet done it is not something we can recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basilica began to be built in 1875 but was not consecrated until the end of the First World War. There are guided tours to visit it<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the cost is around \u20ac7 and it is perhaps also a good idea to learn about its history and architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
