Montmartre town
While wandering around in Montmartre, you will notice all the art influences. Artists like Vincent Van Gogh and Picasso were attracted to the area and, so art is still in the heart of Montmartre.
There are also many shops, beautiful buildings, and cafes in the town where you can easily spend the whole morning. Every morning at Place du Tertre, artist gather to draw illustrations or portraits. It is a little square in the heart of Montmartre.
We’ve been told that the oldest vineyard of Paris is located in Montmartre as well.

Pigalle basketball & Moulin Rouge
Our personal favorite and surprise during this Paris City Trip was Pigalle Basketball court. Together with Nike, the fashion brand Pigalle designed this a-ma-zing looking basketball court. We have to say that it is only allowed to take pictures here if you have permission from a local. Please always respect this. Update 2022: Unfortunately, this field has been redesign and lost its beautiful design.

Near the fields is one of the most famous cabaret shows in the world; The Moulin Rouge. If you have time available, plan to visit one of these shows.

Romantic Paris !
“Que diras-tu ce soir, pauvre âme solitaire,
Que diras-tu, mon coeur, coeur autrefois flétri,
À la très belle, à la très bonne, à la très chère,
Dont le regard divin t’a soudain refleuri…”
