Montmartre

Getting Here

Montmartre is in the 18e arrondissement. Take Line 2 to Anvers métro station, and then take the funicular (costs one métro ticket) up to Sacré-Coeur. Or, take Line 12 to Abbesses station and take your time wandering among the cobbled streets and staircases that lead up to the basilica. For a scenic tour, hop the public bus, Montmartrobus (costs one métro ticket). An easy starting point is the métro station Jules-Joffrin (Line 12): the bus winds up the hilly streets, with a convenient stop at Sacré-Coeur. Or pile the kids onto Le Petit Train de Montmartre, a bus disguised as a minitrain that runs a circuit every 30 minutes from Place Blanche (€3-€6).
