(Last Update: 03.03.2024) Everyone who passes by Montmartre Hill in Paris has seen it from the beginning or the end, but has never been able to get into it. From places that are hidden even though they are public We will get to know one of them, a beautiful park, in this article: Square Louise-Michel… Firstly 1877It was built in and frequently underwent renovation work. 24 acres The name of this park has changed many times throughout history and it took this name recently, but if it were up to me, I would come here. Montmartre Park or Sacre Coeur Park I would say…
Basilique du Sacré Coeur – Basilica of Sacré CoeurThere is a wide view of Paris from the top of the park, which is built on a steep slope, just below. For that reason Montmartre Hillcome to visit Sacré CoeurThose who visit do not forget to take a look at the city from this upper terrace, but the number of people who prefer to go down the stairs left and right is not that many. That's why I suggest you take a stroll around this park, or rather Montmartre I recommend that you go down these slopes and walk towards the bottom of the park during part of your trip.
To come to Square Louise-Michel from below M2 metro You get off at the Antwerp station of the line and go right across the street. Rue de SteinkerqueYou have to go uphill from . There is a very beautiful view on the left on this slope. chocolate museum consistency Maison George Larnicol there is. Actually this route Montmartre Hill It is just one of the ideal routes to start your trip. You know I M2 or M12 metro get on one of the lines PigalleGet off at and from here By bus number 40 going up the hill Get off at Place du Tertre – Norvins stop I suggest you start your trip.
So before Painters' Square – Place du TertreYou see, walking from there Sacré CoeurYou reach , and then you watch Paris from the starting point at the top of Square Louise-Michel. those who are tired Montmartre FunicularI recommend that they go downstairs or use the steep stairs on the right, but now that we can go into a little detail, I would like to offer you another alternative by saying that it is also enjoyable to walk around Square Louise-Michel and go downstairs for those who have the time and taste.
When you enter the park from above, there are stairs going down from the right and left. If you go on the right, you will go down faster, but if you have time, I recommend you go on the left. Montmartre HillIt will be an interesting feeling to get away from the touristic crowd of , even for a moment, and find yourself on a hillside surrounded by greenery. It is just as enjoyable to wind your way down the steep slope, at the same level as the penthouses of 5-6 storey classic Parisian apartment buildings.
If you get off from this point, you will be my favorite. interesting arts center and very nice cafe one La Halle Saint-Pierreto and behind it famous fabric market St. Peter's MarketYou have reached .
If you descend from the right side, as I said, it is a more straightforward descent from here. You directly reach the terraces on the lower floors, and from here you continue descending floor by floor. Also on your right Montmartre Funicular It's already coming down. The fact that the wagons pass by you at almost a 45 degree angle gives you a childish pleasure.
Square Louise-Michel is enjoyable in many ways, but a few important details I would like to remind you and warn you in advance. First of all, the first stairs upstairs sometimes don't smell very nice, perhaps because they are a bit secluded; Unfortunately, such things happen. Another problem is A Week in Paris As I mentioned in my book, the clingy attitude of the black street vendors, especially at the lower entrance of the park; For example, they may tie a rope to your arm and pretend to give it as a gift at first and then try to take money, and sometimes they may try this as a method of pickpocketing. So I say stay away from such people and do not tolerate them. Unfortunately, such things can happen.
Still, I love this park; Although I am not always enthusiastic enough to walk through it - because I am not a person who likes to go up and down hills - I have walked up and down this park many times. Moreover, even if you are not going to visit this place, I wanted you to have an idea about what it is like. Besides, Square Louise-Michel also has another beautiful feature, or rather a pleasant memory:
Where is the famous one? Amelie movie As a matter of fact, one of the most important scenes of that movie takes place at the bottom of this park. Whenever I pass by the place where you see the cover photo of this article, the movie Amélie comes to my mind, and I feel very happy. The carousel here is one of the most important details that reflect the characteristics of Paris, so just entering here, watching this big toy spinning around, and witnessing the happiness of the children on the carousel will add joy to your day.
If you turn left from the lower gate of Square Louise-Michel La Halle Saint-Pierre ve St. Peter's Market There is, if you go down the opposite slope towards "Antwerp", you will see giant chocolate statues on the right on the road. Maison George Larnicol There is a famous cookie shop on the left on the same road. La Cure Gouremandehas a branch. Just below Antwerp metro station already.
If you walk to the right instead of going down this slope, you will first Montmartre FunicularYou will see , then I Love You Wallwhere Abbesses You will reach the station, from here you will find one of my favorite restaurants. the basilicto, if you continue further Eiffel Tower Pleasant terrace with view cafe-bar-restaurant “Le Terrass”You will have reached. Below that too Montmartre Cemetery already. Amelie's Cage It's also right nearby... There are tons of other things you can do in the area; Detailed information about all Montmartre Hill You can find it in the article.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
