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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
