Montmartre, Paris: Sacre Coeur and Place du Tetre

The Montmartre hilly boho village in the 18th arrondissement is always a great place to check out and hang out in Paris, whether during the daytime or at night. The village has different vibes though, depending on which time of the day you visit.

Place du Tetre at night.

Basicila du Sacre Coeur.

The mornings are less crowded of course, still fresh from the morning glow and no tourist invasions yet which happens slightly after 09:00+. Mid to late afternoons will be very busy already, and although it is crowded, it is a "nicely crowded" kind of way somehow, perhaps because of the village's low-key bohemian setting and the spectacular city views. There is the feeling of space.

The transition to evening in Montmartre is another existence on its own. It is a must to see and experience in my book because the ambiance is just one of a kind and the lights are simply amazing. Especially when you stand on the steps of the Basilica du Sacre Coeur, you can enjoy sweeping views of Paris at your feet! And the Place du Tetre becomes lively with artists and bistro-cafe-goers.

The evening does give a touch of sophistication to the whole boho ambiance of the place. I told girlfriend Pinpin that she cannot leave Paris without having step foot in Montmartre.
