Montmartre

Streets lined with retro cafés, ivy-clad grand apartment buildings and the dazzling white domes of the Sacré-Cœur: Montmarte is most people’s idea of what Paris is. There’s an enchanting village feel here thanks to the steep hills, charming multi-coloured houses and tiny old fashioned shops. Plus, there's more than enough sightseeing to keep you busy for weeks rather than weekends. Wander round spotting locations from ‘Amelié’, visit the final resting places of Parisian cultural icons such as Degas and Zola in the Montmarte Cemetery, and take in the dreamy rose gardens of the seventeenth-century Musée de Montmartre. There are plenty of places to eat vying for your Euros, but skip the tourist traps and check out Il Brigante, Soul Kitchen and Coq Rico. For drinks, head up to the rooftop bar of the Terras Hotel and the intimate Bar à Bulles on top of the Moulin Rouge, or go seriously chic at Bar le Très Particulier.
