I think I heard something about a bus that tours through Montmartre that you can take to see the major areas. Does anyone know where you can catch this bus and does it cost just a regular metro ticket? Is it included it the visit pass?

Check out: www.ratp.fr. Find the English page if you don't read French. It's all there.

I tried their site a couple times but whenever I click montmartrobus the screen just goes blank and freezes. Does anyone have any info?

I'm looking for you now. Try this: http://www.ratp.fr/ParisVisite/Eng/pivi/f_pivi.htm Paris Visite is a travel card pass enabling you to use all the public transport services. It is the best way to get around Paris and its region! Paris Visite provides unlimited travel on the Paris transportation system: Metro, RER (regional trains), Bus, Tram, Montmartre funicular, Noctambus, Transilien SNCF (suburban trains), Optile buses (bus network operated in outer suburbs), depending upon the chosen fare zone (1-3, 1-5 and 1-8). With this pass you can get to places like Disneyland Resort Paris (zone 5) and Versailles (zone 4) or even the Orly airport (zone 4) and Charles de Gaulle airport (zone 5). Paris Visite is on sale in 1, 2, 3 and 5 days version. A reduced price is applicable for children aged from 4 to 11 (children under 4 ride free of charge). Enjoy the many advantages provided by Paris Visite selected partners: free admissions or special rates, discounted prices, etc. Here are below some of the advantages especially reserved for the Paris Visite pass holders.

OK. I found it for you. You can catch the Montmartrobus at Place Pigalle. The streets start to get steep going up the hill there so it's perfect for you. You won't have to walk all the way up to the Sacre-Coeur. On the French site, I downloaded the PDF. It's in color. Here's the link. Scroll down to "Tourisme en bus" and click on the "Montmartrobus" hotlink. Does this help? You'll be able to get the PDF file you can print out! http://www.citefutee.com/orienter/plans.php

Here's the link showing the pdf file ( I think): http://www.citefutee.com/orienter/pl...trobus_pdf.php

If you buy a carnet of 10 tickets, you only need to use 1 ticket. If you purchase a "Paris Visite" ticket, the price is included. All you have to do is show the pass to the driver. You can hop on the bus at Pigalle, Abbesses, Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro stations.

Thank you Eye Spy! You really went beyond the call of duty, I really appreciate it!
