Yes, it is still a good boisterous place for a good meal. (I am using "boisterous" as the opposite of "romantic.")

Oh, how lovely those photos are. I've never seen that part of Montmartre, another reason to go back!!

What a great idea , a coffee table book of the best of Kerouac. Only problem what do you eliminate?
Again many thanks for a gorgeous insight into another section of Paris

Lovely! I've been off any and all Forums for nearly a month (work work work), so how nice to come back and find pictures of my 'hood! I love those quiet, charming streets of Montmartre; we've never had a problem finding quiet there, no matter what time or day. I saw lots of familiar sights and many unfamiliar, too - I'm totally putting that cemetery on my list. I'm a cemetery hound.

Thanks, kerouac.

Back to work for me!

Cepage was a fun hangout when we stayed in Montmartre last month. They have jazz on Friday nights. Thanks for the great pictures of places we walked to and from our apartment.

I miss Paris. Have not been there since September 2010.

Thank you very much for your photo essay of Monmarte.
Barb and I walked in some of these areas last Sept and emjoyed them.

Keep up your thoughtful work.
Please give our best to Joan when you see her.

Kerouac...

I just love all your photo essays. However, I'd like them more if you would give street-by-street info with the pix. Next trip (likely this May) we'd love to follow that Montmartre walk, and I'm using brute force on Google maps, but I can't locate everything.

Of course, random wandering between those places I can locate is not such a bad thing, either, in Paris.

This particular walk was super easy, because if you take the stairs leading up behind metro Lamack-Caulaincourt, you will arrive at avenue Junot, which circles right back to... Lamarck-Caulaincourt.

Kerouac, The morning light along with your artful eye -- and of course the subject matter -- come together to make one bang-up of a beautiful piece. (Is that a real expression?) Anyway, you're lovely. Thanks for posting.

Kerouac, between you and FMT, it's like I get a view of France all the time right in my own home. Thanks for all your tours. Great stuff and lots of helpful hints for when we return.

PS, FMT, I just toured your trip to Moret-sur-Loing to Nemours; and thanks to you as well for the beautiful photos and hints about where to go. I think I need to take you and Kerouac out for a drink next time I'm there. Thanks again to both of you.

I agree, merci beaucoup kerouac! I think I might literally salivate a little bit (in a Pavlovian-sort of good way, of course) when the I see a new post from you and your camera. Very enjoyable, it's like a mini-vacation to France...

kerouac

I just hope it snows again this winter (actually it only snowed in December last year but it snowed a half dozen times!). That would make Montmartre even more photogenic.

Thank you, kerouac, for a lovely photo tour. We will be there in just a couple of weeks (Nov 4th). Looks like maybe the fall foliage will hold on for us!

In all my trips to Paris, I've never visited Montmartre. It just didn't "call me". But your walking tour has inspired me....that's the kind of thing I'd love to do!

I will be with my sister who has some trouble walking very long. I was glad to see the little Montmartrobus in your picture. Would appreciate your input on how we might manage this walk for her.

I'm thinking we could take the bus to Sacre-Couer. Then hop on the M'martrobus up to the stop at Rue Girardon/Rue Norvins.
If I'm not mistaken, we can then walk <i>downhill</i> along Rue Junot toward Rue Coulaincourt. Then catch the metro at Lamarck. (Is Rue Coulaincourt flat? It looks like we might enjoy walking along there before taking the metro.)

Does this itinerary sound about right? I was a little thrown by the uphill/downhill...thought it would be just the opposite. Any suggested change? Will we see most of what you've shown by walking down Rue Junot?

Thanks again, Jeanne

<i>...if you take the stairs leading up behind metro Lamack-Caulaincourt, you will arrive at avenue Junot, which circles right back to... Lamarck-Caulaincourt.</i>

Uh oh. I don't understand that at all. Perhaps I misinterpreted something as I was switching between Google and the bus route map. Doing the street view on Google, it looks like Rue Junot is all uphill from Lamarck metro.

As said above, could you clarify your route please?

kerouac

A map will show that avenue Junot makes a three-quarter circle winding down the hill. So one you are up at the top of it, it loops you downhill back to the metro.

Rue Caulaincourt is not flat, but it follows the path of least resistance and is easy to walk along.

My last photo did not show the Montmartrobus but one of the little tourist "trains" that take people around Montmartre. However, you can easily take the Montmartrobus up to Sacré Coeur, and it does have some stops along the route I showed. I seem to recall that one of the stops is in front of the Ciné 13.

Another wonderful photo essay, Kerouac! I loved all the ivy, but am always a sucker for cat pictures. Thanks for including some. Thanks for all of your essay--the story and the pictures. Loved it all!

Please keep posting these little "explorations of yours"!

Sigh....thanks, kerouac.
