18th arrondissement of Paris

如何抵達

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

Landmarks

1 Sacré-Cœur (La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre) (Anvers 2 or Abbesses 12 , then climb the stairs on Rue Foyatier or take the funicular to the top of the hill). Daily, 06:00-23:00. 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 km 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. In case it happens, pull back your hand, brush them off and move on. They might claim that "This is for the church." In case your feel that things go sideways, raise your voice to get people's attention and ask them call the police. 2 Cimetière de Montmartre (Montmartre Cemetery), rue de la Barrière Blanch (Métro Place de Clichy). There are a number of famous occupants, but the real reason to visit this cemetery is to see the ornate

體驗活動

1 Le Moulin Rouge, place Blanche (Métro Blanche). With two shows a night, this turn-of-the-20th century burlesque palace offers a big production choreographed dance show interspersed with comedians, jugglers, and magicians. The show is more than bilingual, actually playing up the U.S. 4th infantry's involvement in the libération for the sake of the large number of Americans in the audience. If you want to spend more you can have dinner there. Is the Moulin Rouge a tourist trap? Well... it was meant to be one in the first place, so the experience is genuine. It's not cheap: the 21:00 show costs €95 and the 23:00 show costs €89. Cooking with Class (13), 21, rue Custine. Hands on French cooking classes in a relaxed atmosphere with an experienced French chef. 4 hours of fun, including market visit, cheese and wine tasting, 5 minutes from the Sacre Coeur in the heart of Montmartre. Môm'artre, 44, rue Joseph de Maistre, ☏ +33 1 42 28 82 27. An arts centre intended primarily for kids (Môme means kid) the Môm'artre features workshops for kids and adults, hosted by neighborhood artists.

Everything from fine antiques through to collectible kitsch and bric-a-brac. Big on retro fashion also. Very popular with tourists, making it more difficult here to find a real bargain, but it is always worth looking.

美食

Budget Nawab, 174, rue Ordener (Métro: Guy Môquet), ☏ +33 1-46-27-85-28, [email protected]. Daily, 12ː00-14ː00 & 19ː00-23ː00. This Indian and Pakistani restaurant is usually packed especially for lunch so be sure to call ahead and reserve a table.

Very ordinary non-touristy cafe run by family from the Maghreb. "French" food is pricey for what you get, but the couscous dishes are huge, cheap and delicious with a home-cooked feel to them. There's a dog hanging around the bar, very friendly beast, but avoid if allergic or easily scared. €10. La Travesia, 19 rue muller, ☏ +33 9 81 21 73 11. Inexpensive but excellent Lebanese food.
