Montmartre’s sweet spot sits demurely at 10 rue Cortot, about 500 yards from Sacre Coeur and 5 minutes away from the hilltop square jammed with painters and tourists, Place du Tertre.

Housed in Montmartre’s oldest building, the museum founded in 1960, was once the meeting place and part-time residence of Renoir, Emile Bernard, Dufy, Utrillo and Suzanne Valadon. Your visit plots the history of the artist colony from shanty town to the Moulin Rouge. An entire room is dedicated to the French Cancan.

For the 9 euros admission you’ll be equipped with an audio guide and entree to the galleries, romantic gardens and coveted view of the hilltop vineyard.

The Renoir gardens surrounding the building speak for themselves. There are plenty of benches and chairs tucked away for quiet contemplation. Check the museum’s website for special events.

A touristy place, not without color or authenticity. Best to visit early, then take the train back down to the metro or continue your walk down to Sacre Coeur for a magnificent view of Paris.

Sacre Coeur Dome: insider secret

How many tourists realize they can go higher than just the terrace at Sacre Coeur? The line this morning was scant, perhaps because of the season, the wet weather, the time of day (10 am). You can climb to the dome (300 steep curving claustraphobic steps) and crypt for 9 euros or choose just one for 6. The view is staggering and although the walls are scratched with messages and initials (some are love poems), it doesn’t spoil the experience. Photographers, start your engines. Your “No Worries Paris” guidebook will guide you to more adventures behind the Basilica.

Everyone knows about the view from the Tour Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe, Galeries Lafayette roof, Tour Montparnasse, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, but not many tourists realize one of the best, especially on a clear day, is from the top tier of the Pantheon. Tours leave from the ground floor at appointed hours from April to October. Small admission charge. For details, see page 42 of your No Worries Paris guidebook.
