    While you are roaming the area of Montmartre, or coming down the hill from visiting the 'Sacre Coeur', then be sure to look for this special wall covered with

    "I LOVE YOU" in languages from all over the world.

    Is this not one of MILLES reasons why Paris is such a romantic city???

    I THINK SO!!! :o)

    If you are a fan of the film 'Amelie' then a visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without a visit to the restaurant where Amelie used to work in Montmartre. Most of it has been preserved as to how it was in the film (the copper-topped bar, mustard coloured ceiling, 1950's style decor and neon lamps - so has the unisex toilet) however, the classic cigarette stand has been removed to make space for more tables. A gnome is even on the bar, similar to the one in the film! The cafe had a downbeat funkyness to it.

    A real nightmare going home everyday, isn't it?

    They couldn't find another name more appropriate for this street than "Rue du Calvaire".

    At least the locals don't need to go to gym anymore...

    Just wandering in Montmartre was a real delight because we had the chance to discover funny / interesting places like this one.

    As I mentioned before, we didn't plan anything when we've visited Montmartre, that's why our pleasure to discover different places, monuments, historic buildings was bigger.

    Wandering in Montmartre we found on a street Tristan Tzara's house made by the architect Adolf Loos.

    Vigne du Clos Montmartre

    Located on Montmartre at the corner of rue St-Vincent & rue des Saules, this is the most famous vineyard in Paris, one that produces 300 bottles (production 2002: 805 bottles) of wine feted by a wine festival every October. Unfortunately, this is closed to the public throughout the rest of the year. The vineyard opened in 1932.

    Opposite is Au Lapin Agile and catty-corner to it is Cimetiere St-Vincent where the Montmartois artist, Maurice Utrillo is buried.

    Here is more information about other vineyards in Paris.

    I have a terrible need of - dare I say the word? -religion. Then I go out at night to paint the stars...
    - Vincent van Gogh, Arles, 1888

    Before Van Gogh moved to Arles to paint the stars he lived here at 54 rue Lepic in Montmartre with his beloved brother, Theo.

    It is said that Vincent learned to incorporate bold color in his expressive paintings after his move to Paris. Certainly he moved from a more sombre tone in his works to one filled with color & vibrancy after he lived and worked in Montmartre among fellow artists (Gauguin was a great friend of his before they parted company). Could it have been, too, that he was just happy because he lived in Paris?? :)

    This is another 'landmark' from the film 'Amelie'. It is M Collignon's grocery store, where Amelie bought her fruit and veg from. The film renamed the building 'Maison Collignon, and this still remains above the shop.
    The owner has now created his own website below, tracing the steps of Amelie's adventures

    Address: 56 rue des Trois Freres, 75018 Paris

    The Moulin de la Galette (or Windmill of the Biscuit) is one of two windmills left in Montmartre. Back in the day they used to have outdoor dances such as that made famous by Renoir's "Bal du Moulin de la Galette" (or "Dancing at the Moulin de la Galette, Montmartre" per the Musée d'Orsay's English Visitor's Guide) and Van Gogh's Le Moulin de la Galette.

    If you didn't know this windmill was here you'd probably miss it (hidden among the foliage) while trudging uphill on rue Lepic.

    Directions: Corner of rue Lepic and rue Tholozé in Montmartre at #77, just up the hill on rue Lepic from where Vincent Van Gogh lived with his brother, Theo (54 r. Lepic).

    Every day except Monday rue Lepic beomes a street market (a little slice of local Montmartois life) - best to come on the weekends.

    Chapelle du Martyre

    Well, I HAD to see the spot where supposedly St. Denis was beheaded (martyred by the Romans). According to legend, he then picked up his head, stopped to wash it off at a fountain (Impasse Girardon off rue Girardon) & proceeded north walking about 4 miles before finally succumbing to death, exhaustion, or gravity. Where he fell down is the site of the modern-day Basilique St-Denis just outside of Paris proper.

    Of course, if you mark his course on a map you'll notice he didn't exactly go in a straight line!

    Directions:
    From Metro Abbesses, go east on rue des Abbesses. Rue Yvonne-le-Tac branches off from this street. Continue east 'til just past rue des Martyrs.

    Montmarte

    North of the Seine in the hills is the historical Montmarte District. As Vienna was a city where great classical musicians existed, and how San Francisco and New York were cities where great poets and writers congregated, Paris' Montmarte District is where many great painters and artists lived.

    Toulouse-Latrec painted grotesque portraits of Harlots, Monet took peace in Montmarte's Pastoral scenes, Renoir, Picasso, Dali, Pisarro, Cezanne and van Gogh all lived about the streets of Montmarte.

    Take the busy 2 (blue line) Metro to Blanche Station. As you walk out, you'll see the lighted windmill made famous by Moulin Rouge, a cabaret theatre.

    Find Rue Lepic and walk up the hill. You will come across many great restaurants and shops. 15 Rue Lepic is the cafe where Amelie was filmed at. Keep walking up the long and windy hill and, eventually, you'll stumble into 54 Rue Lepic. Inscripted next to the street number is plaque which indicates that Vincent and his Brother Theo Van Gogh lived here. It is the entrance with the black door.
