The story about my trip to Europe - 9

[Montmartre Hill]


Today's post is about Montmartre Hill, my 6th day in the morning

I heard a lot that Montmartre Hill is a crime-ridden district even before I head for it.
The story about gypsies giving you bracelet and requiring money​, or pickpocketing...
I was kind of scared when I heard such stories but that day seemed okay.
But those stories ain’t came from nowhere, so those will go, please be careful!

6th day in Paris

'I Love You' Wall at Abbesses Station. On this wall, the sentence “I love you” is written for 1000 times in 300 languages.

▲ Tertre square

Tertre means top of hill, and this place is famous for artist’s hill. Here, they draw and sell their paintings.
Personally, I like the painting of the Eiffel Tower drawn by marker on canvas, but there was no one to see.

▲ Sacred Heart Cathedral

The cathedral is built on highest place of Paris.
Unlike the Notre Dame Cathedral, it is beautiful Byzantine style building with a rounded dome roof.

▲ Moulin Rouge

This is the venue that means red windmill.
and this place is also motif of the movie 'Moulin Rouge'.
Montmartre is the memorable place that I have been while I was traveling Paris.
Those many artists, old architectures, and the alleys reminded me of the time, the background of movie 'Moulin Rouge'.
