Music sounds of an old Buenos Aires bandoneón …?. No, Montmartre , the bohemian, the artists of old. Picasso, Apollinaire, Camus … Today, his legacy will pick up their streets and plazas, street performers and flea market on Sundays. The taste of warm bread every morning early, the hills of the mills and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart .
I leave the underground by the Place du Tertre . Here I sit a while, the morning sun, to see the young painters who portray every inch of Montmartre, emulating old palette geniuses who were inspired by the streets. The highest area of the city is a river of people. One Sunday morning Montmartre invites you to the world and life.
Its small streets and squares have a special color. The aroma of coffee is poured slowly. Small terraces prepare their sweets and cakes, and hundreds of tourists read the letter from the menu on the wood panels. It is the genuine taste of the popular Paris, the nostalgic, which is torn between the picturesque and suggestive.
Paris love music aboard bustling Montmartre. Some say that over the years has become too touristy. If not do them. They have no eyes to the charm of the popular. The magic of this district you come to the senses. You only need to discover it, feel it … or rather, to let run over by it.
Have you seen the movie Amelie?. Just carry in the background mp3 soundtrack while walking through Montmartre . In each corner a small canvas, a bistro, a restaurant. I walk into a bakery and ask one of the crepes that even crunchy, is just one of the smells and tastes of this quarter.
Gradually the throngs of people overflows. At the bottom begins to appear white silhouette of the Sacred Heart. On both sides of the street souvenir shops soaking up tourists, and a circle of cameras chasing the crooks who play hide the ball. Some gamble, and win, and mislead others …
Montmartre is a small universe of thousands of Sundays in one. The hours pass and eventually you dream back to reality. Paris check the curtain down, in a sunset that envy the color of the streets of Montmartre.
Paris is one of the most important and influential cities in the world, and a top tourist attraction. Home to an estimated population of just over two million, the city is teeming with people who live and work in Paris, plus the millions who visit the city as tourists. Paris tours are wildly popular, not because people don’t know where they want to visit, but because it’s just easier to get around and see as much as possible as part of one of the many Paris tours that can be booked online.
Paris is the most popular tourist destination in the world with 45 million tourists annually, many who have traveled a long way just to see the iconic landmarks, particularly the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. To see either of these iconic attractions, it’s best to get Eiffel Tower tickets or Louvre tickets ahead of time and skip waiting in the impossibly long lines. These tickets can be bought online as part of short bus tours of the city.
Three of the most famous Parisian landmarks are the Notre Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. The Louvre, Statue of Liberty replica, Versailles Palace, and Disneyland Paris are also extremely popular attractions. While no one could possibly see everything in Paris in one trip, Paris tours do help people make the most of their short visit.
