Montmartre

At the top of butte Montmartre is the Basilica Sacre Coeur, a cathedral completed in 1914. The basilica is located at the highest point in Paris, from which much of the city can be seen. This summit can be reached on the metro or by a scenic tram ride.

On the walk down are shops, galleries, cafes, and ample opportunities to buy paintings and other souvenirs. The Espace Dali Montmartre, a museum of Salvador Dali's art work, is located on a side street and, when I visited, had an exhibition of sculpture and jewelry by Dali.

At the bottom of the hill is the Moulin Rouge.
