up the hill by the Sacre Coeur Church....Moulin Rouge is two blocks away from that store in the pic...That's not the Montmarte I'm familiar with. Where are the painters, sketchers, etc?
Note. Not Sketchers, but sketchers.

Both times I was there, we came into Montmarte from beside the church. It was artist booths for quite a ways. I guess we just didn't go far enough in the right direction.up the hill by the Sacre Coeur Church....Moulin Rouge is two blocks away from that store in the pic...
According to my redneck buddy from Georgia, he asked his future wife what was the biggest issue growing up in a large Hong Kong family…"a fish only has two eyes."I know it's not generally a thing there but doin't recall ever noticing a problem. The one thing I recall not loving was fish with eyeballs (and essentially everything else). But that's pretty easy to avoid.
Some Aussies I like a lot, just turn it up !

Oui! Basilique du Sacre'-Coeur de Montmarte. You got go! Wander all around that old church, including on the little walkways up above where you can get up close to the gargoyles. They're a trip. I need to spend a few months or years there.This one, yes?
Dammit, I want go!

You didn't take the funicular?I went through Sacré Coeur last Sept. While I was wandering around they started a Mass, so I stayed for it. Magnificent.
I had a couple of Guinness' in the Irish Pub across the road after, found I was sitting just across from another Aussie from Sydney so we had a chat for a little while. I needed the beers before heading back down that hill and to the Metro station. Had lunch at Cafe Bimbo (couldn't resist lol) on the walk to the Metro.

when I approached, they all said things like, "our long lost brother!"For me, It would be like looking in a mirror............![]()
a pic is worth......Miles, it's a pic took when I was there - I just want to go back![]()
I did on the way up. Standing atop those stairs looking back down the hill was a bit daunting.... so I had a Guinness and delayed the inevitable. lolYou didn't take the funicular?
One of the times I was there, more than 50 youth from all over were sitting on those steps singing a Beatles song (Let it Be, IIRC). Paris really is a magical place. Even more than Tahiti.
Ticas!....
couple of long blocks of just (real) music stores with bars and bistros in between and at the corners.......sheer bliss....Some nice straps there.
