Montmartre / Sacré Coeur: the artistic neighborhood

  • Whether you like art or not, Montmartre is a "must see" place.
    Drink a coffee in "place de tartre" while looking at amateur painters do their extraordinary job.
    End up in Sacr? Coeur church. Up in the hill, you get the best view ever of Paris.
    In Montmarte, believe me, you'll get the chance to imagine Renoir or Toulouse-Lautrec are about to pass waking any minute.

  • Obviously, in order to love this museum the way I love it, you must adore the Impressionists as well.
    Since I started painting on my own, I noticed that the technique I love most is the Impressionism.
    Everytime I go to Paris I go to the Musée D'Orsay. It's impposible not to drop by and enjoy every piece of painting made by these incredible guys!!!!

  • While I was visitng Paris with my friend Laura, we came across a singular building. We decided to get in, thinking that it was all about some few paintings. It ended up to be a whole 5 floor building full of independant young artists. Cool people! They are exposing their art for free. Don't miss it!

  • The most tourist attractions of Paris are fine. You have to go up to the Eiffel tower and you have to see the Louvre but the best places of Paris are those little incredible corners. Paris has lots of charming places and details. I like to seat in a garden or by the water. I like churches and squares. I like little bars where you can seat outside and see people walk by. That's the treasure of Paris like this place in the photo by the river. People just seat there and chill out!

  • If you have read the book "Foucault´s Pendulum" by Humberto Eco, YOU HAVE TO VISIT THIS MUSEUM.

    You will find there the famous pendulum and will be surprised by all the things you will find there. Besides you will remember there the beggining of the book when the main character is hidden inside the museum...well the rest you know it.

    For those who have not read the book (i totally reccomend it) you will still be fascinated by the museum!
