LE CARROUSSEL
15 place saint Pierre
75018 Paris
Métro: Anvers (line 2) or Funiculaire de Montmartre

This small bar is situated at feet of the funicular and near the market Saint Pierre with a small terrace. It has nothing exceptional but the welcome was nice. It is necessary to count 4 euro for a Diet Coke. The only big problem of this place are toilet!!! I disadvise you to come down except case of absolute necessity…

PROMOTRAIN - Paris

Metro: Blanche (line 2) or Funiculaire de Montmartre

Small stroll in my Montmartre and in surroundings aboard a small train. You can take the train in front of the Moulin Rouge or close to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
You hear the history of Montmartre to the sound of hurdy-gurdies French songs. The text is also translated into English.
If you take the small train at the level of the Moulin Rouge, you can get off at Montmartre, and take back an other one later.
Pleasant stroll for those who not do not like or can not walk too much.

LE PETIT CREUX
8 rue du Mont Cenis -Montmartre
75018 Paris
Metro: Abesses (line 12), Anvers (line 2) Funiculaire de Montmartre

This small restaurant is situated close to the square of the hillock. The executive is pleasant and modern, very colored at once. I was a little surprised by entering by seeing the executive with regard to the outside. I have tested a “crêpe” ham / cheese / eggs at the 7-euro price with 33cl of dry cider at the 4-euro price. The pate of the “crêpe” was not very cooked but it was furnished well. I continued with a chocolate-brown crepe almond at the 6-euro price. I was too greedy because I was not able to end it. In fact I thought that it was about almond fringe and not of powder of almond. Things being what they are, the service and the welcome were very pleasant.

LE CENIS - Montmartre
7 rue du Mont Cenis- Montmartre
75018 Paris
Metro: Funiculaire de Montmartre, Abesses (line 12), Anvers (line2)

Close to the square of the hillock, I wanted to refresh my self little far from the crowd. I tested an orange pressed which was very good at the 5-euros price. We are on a very tourist place and regrettably the welcome was not there. Damage.

Nice walk in Paris
I wanted to go to the Louvre Museum on July 14th but the line quickly got me discouraged then I decided to walk along the Seine in the direction of “Notre-Dame”. I thus continued on Rivoli street to take on the right the banks of the Seine quickly. Regrettably the secondhand booksellers in border of the Seine were not opened (green boxes along the Seine River). I thus have pursued my stroll along the Seine to arrive finally at Notre-Dame Cathedral. There was again the line but it quickly decreased. I thus took the line to enter after 5 minutes only the cathedral of “Notre Dame”. Then I was able to rediscover the beauty of stained glasses and the architecture of the Cathedral. By going out, it was cold a little bit then before returning me towards the Saint Louis Island I made a small stopping place to warm myself in the bar and restaurant Esmeralda.
Having made the tour of the Saint Louis Island, I come back by the road of Notre-Dame to take the RER C at the level of Saint Michel.

Metro: Cité (ligne 4)

To warm my self at the exit of the Cathedral Notre Dame, I went to taste a “sugar crêpe” (very good) with an excellent hot chocolate. The decoration and the area are pleasant; the service is fast with a nice welcome. My only negative remark will be at the level of toilet (to avoid rather).

I recommend you this guided tour of Montmartre.

You measure the streets of Montmartre with an extraordinary guide who is also very good comedian. For this visit, it is better to put good shoes because the visit lasts approximately 2 hours. You learn the small as the big stories of Montmartre. Along the visit, comedians appear to tell us stories of olden times. At the end of the visit you are absorbed with Montmartre and all the participants to the visit groups together behind the Sacred Heart Basilica to sing a hurdy-gurdy French song. We are all transported timeless and with the enjoyment and happiness to have crossed Montmartre such as it was in the time of the painters.

FUXIA
42 place du marché Saint Honoré
75001 PARIS
Tel : 01 42 61 45 46
Metro: Pyramides lines 7 & 14

The summer is finally in the air, terraces flourish on the streets of Paris and notably on this place where numerous restaurants mix. So good to dinner outside on a place where cars are quasi nonexisten, what is rather rare in Paris!!! The restaurant FUXIA is an excellent Italian restaurant with other things on the card than pasta and pizzas. This changes!!!! For my part, I took antipasti Fuxia (vegetables were grilled and marinaded in the olive oil accompanied with Italian charcuterie). So delicious. For dessert, an icecream with limoncello Do not forget the delightful effervescent red wine: the lambrusco. Ideal to start the week end.
