The 18th arrondissement is where touristy Paris meets popular Paris. Located on the capital's right bank, it's home to the famous and charming Butte Montmartre, where you can wander through a maze of staircases, an astonishing, almost mystical district-village that takes you back to the Paris of the movies.
On the Place du Tertre, caricaturists share the stage, and our steps lead us in the footsteps of artists who have contributed to the spirit of the place. We salute the bust of Dalida, let ourselves be surprised by Passe-Muraille, admire the anachronistic charm of the Moulin de la Galette, declare our love for the Je T'aime wall, follow the vines to Maison Rose, marvel at the imposing Sacré-Coeur and discover the little secrets that populate the hilltop.
At the foot of the hill, neighborhoods ranging from fashionable to working-class surround this astonishing hill. Bridging the gap between the bubbling Pigalle atmosphere and the charm of Montmartre, the Abbesses district reveals its share of gourmet nuggets, while the Lamarck-Caulaincourt area is more on the hipster side of the force. The Barbès Rochechouart district gradually shifts us towards the more popular spots of La Goutte d'Or, La Chapelle and Marx Dormoy, not forgetting Anvers, the stronghold of haberdashers.
