Cheery Blossoms against a painted blue sky, Wisterias in bloom hanging off intricate iron gates with the sound of an Accordion playing in the distance - that’s how I remembered Montmartre when I first set foot in her 9 years ago. I’m here today and nothing has changed except for perhaps the influx of tourist. Spring I would say is the best time to visit Paris, and Montmartre is one of my favourite places to come to. Artist out in the square painting, while the hustle and bustle of tourist and locals a like sit out to enjoy a glass of wine in spring’s perfect weather, is absolute bliss!

Montmartre is the second highest point in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. From the top, one can view the skyline of Paris and a perfect location to watch the lights display of the Eiffel Tower at night. It is home to the famous white-domed church, Basilica of Sacré Cœur, as well as the old church of Saint Pierre de Montmartre. It is said that artist such as Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and even Salvador Dali had studios and worked in and around here.
