🎨A Day of Art and Gastronomy: From Montmartre Hill to the Wall of Love and Pigalle
If you spend a day in Paris, we recommend a morning course in Montmartre, which is filled with art, romance, and gastronomy. From the picturesque streets along the hill, to the cityscape overlooking the white cathedral, and the classic restaurants that Parisians love to visit. The essence of Paris that will satisfy both your senses and your taste buds is here.
📍 Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur – A pure white sanctuary overlooking Paris
At the top of the hill stands the symbol of Montmartre, the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur.
This white, round dome-shaped cathedral is impressive just from its exterior, and the stained glass inside and the mosaic murals on the dome ceiling are also very beautiful.
The steps in front of the cathedral offer a panoramic view of the entire city of Paris, making it a great place to take pictures. Street performances are also held frequently, allowing you to experience emotional moments.
📍 Walking on Montmartre Hill – Walking in the footsteps of artists
Montmartre was once a village of artists where Picasso, Modigliani, and Van Gogh stayed and devoted themselves to their work.
Located on a hill north of Paris, this place is filled with lively energy from the morning. Galleries, street artists, and small museums line every alley, allowing you to immerse yourself in artistic emotions as you walk.
In particular, Place du Tertre is a famous place where portrait artists gather, making it very popular with travelers.
📍 Le Mur des Je t’aime – Love spoken in 250 languages
Don’t miss the ‘I Love You Wall’ located in the park near the Abbesses subway station on the way down from the cathedral.
This wall, which has ‘I love you’ written in over 250 languages, is famous as a certification photo mecca for not only lovers but also travelers from all over the world.
A moment when each word engraved on the blue tile background feels special. One of the places where you can feel the romance of Paris most intuitively.
📍 Lunch Course: Bouillon Pigalle - Best Value Parisian Restaurant
About 5 minutes walk from the Love Wall, enjoy lunch like a Parisian at Bouillon Pigalle, loved by locals and tourists alike.
A brasserie-style restaurant with a long history, it is a place where you can taste classic French home-style cuisine at surprisingly reasonable prices.
