Montmartre / Bas-de-Montmartre is the second most-visited tourist quarter in Paris. The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is located as is the famous Montmartre Cemetery. It encompasses Montmartre, the tallest hill in Paris.

Formerly an are of vineyards and plaster mines, the Montmartre / Bas-de-Montmartre quarter retains the old world charm, with quaint streets and the occasional windmill. There are picturesque sights tucked away in this quarter of Paris, and if you climb to the top of Montmartre, you are rewarded with a panoramic view of the city spread out below you.

Bas-de-Montmartre refers to the boulevards at the foot of Montmartre. These were once popular with cabarets. Today the Moulin Rouge is the only such dance-hall still remaining.
