Paris/18th arrondissement

1280px

Many of the hotels in the 18th arrondissement are within walking distance of Gare du Nord, so if you are arriving from the UK, Belgium, or the Netherlands, consider walking or taking a taxi should you arrive at night, or with luggage.

By Métro

From other parts of Paris, your best option is to arrive by Métro. The 18th is primarily served by the Métro 4 and 12 lines from the centre of town, or the 2 from the east and west.

Stations of note

• Abbesses The station is fairly high up the slope of the hill, and the line is fairly deep underground, so getting up and down is part of the fun either in a seven-storey spiral staircase decorated from top to bottom with murals by local amateur painters, or in one of two high-capacity modern lifts. If you have time and good knees the choice is clear.

Lines

• Line Station paris|2 stops at stations from west to east: Place de Clichy, Blanche, Pigalle, Anvers, and Barbès-Rochechouart.
• Line Station paris|4 has stops at stations from south to north: Barbès-Rochechouart and Chateau Rouge.
• Line Station paris|12 has stop at stations from south to north: Pigalle, Abbesses

What to see in Paris/18th arrondissement

Landmarks

Paris 18th sacre coeur - Sacre Coeur

• Sacré-Cœur - La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre - 48.886694, 2.343 Anvers|2 or Abbesses|12 and then climb the stairs on Rue Foyatier or take the funicular to the top of the hill Opening Hours: Daily, 06:00-23:00 Sacré-Cœur, Paris Sacre Coeur Parijs This wedding cake-white church rises visibly above the north part of Paris. The striking building, with its towers and white onion dome (83 m high), was built between 1875-1914 on the birthplace of La Commune, officially as an act of penitence for the sins committed during the civil war in which thousands of Communards were executed, as well as for the previous bloodshed of the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. A number of prominent businessmen put up the money, and a dizzying combination of architects worked to put together the mock Romano-Byzantine extravaganza. Consecration followed in 1919. The view over Paris from the dome and from the square before it (200 m above sea level) is unsurpassed, apart from that enjoyed at the Eiffel Tower (50 kilometers on a clear day). For the athletic traveller there are stairs from several directions to the top of the hill; otherwise there is also a funicular which runs every few minutes during the daytime from Place St. Pierre. Follow the signs that say "Funiculaire De Montmartre". Beware that the guards don't like it if they catch you taking pictures inside and will even yell "No photo!" and chase you down if they see you with a camera. Be warned: along the lower steps leading up to church, groups of mostly young African men gather and reach toward you with a small string, offering to loop it round your finger. Attempts to brush them off will turn things very ugly and met by claims of "No, this is for the church." They will then demand money for the bracelet they make for you, offering it "at a discount" of up to €20. It gets scarier if you have children in tow.

• Cimetière de Montmartre - Montmartre Cemetery | Rue de la Barrière Blanch 48.887778, 2.330278 Métro Place de Clichy - Montmartre Cemetery Farina-Paris - There are a number of famous occupants, but the real reason to visit this cemetery is to see the ornate tombstones, sculptures, and other sometimes macabre, sometimes touching memorials Parisians have left here for their dead.

• Artists' Plaza place du Tertre 48.886667, 2.340833 - Place du Tertre Paris Montmartre Place du Tertre dsc07247 - Numerous artists paint portraits of tourists and also sell their paintings.

• Place Pigalle 48.882167, 2.337278 On the border with the Paris/9th arrondissement|9th - Place Pigalle Place pigalle The sleaze of boulevard de Clichy between place Pigalle and place Blanche can provide a moment of distraction. Be warned if you are male it is better to do this in the company of a female fellow traveller, as the clubs often send the girls outside to attempt to physically drag passing men off of the street. These strip clubs are big ripoffs. They tempt you with a free drink for €10 entry; once in the girl who starts dancing orders a couple of soft-drinks (Red Bull) and then before you realise you are presented with a bill ranging from €500-700. They have these big bouncers who threaten/manhandle you till you arrive at some settlement with them. The whole of Pigalle is a rip off, best avoided. The police know about these places but nothing is done.

Museums and galleries in Paris/18th arrondissement

• Espace Dali - 11, Rue Poulbot (place du Tertre) 48.886528, 2.339722 Métro Anvers, Abbesses, Bus 54, 80, Montmartrobus, Funiculaire - depart from Métro Anvers ☎ +33 1 42 64 40 10 +33 1 42 64 93 17 Opening Hours: September - Jun: 10:00-18:00 daily; July - Aug: 10:00-20:00 daily. Guided Tours in Paris/18th arrondissement by ehalal.io (email for prices) 15:00 Admission €11 adults, €7 seniors 60+, €6 children and students under 26, free for children under 8 Espace Dalí Espace-dali-montmartre 1 A fantastic and undeservedly little-known collection of the great surrealist artist's often overlooked sculptural works. Those travellers seeking a more authentic experience should be warned that the majority of works here are reproductions, and that this "museum" is more appropriately considered as a for-profit, tourist-oriented homage to the artist rather than a carefully curated collection of original work. To find it, head up to Sacré Cœur and stand facing it and take a left. Keep your eye out for small Dali signs.
