Montmartre is a district for and from artists. You can stroll over the market below the church of Sacré-Cœur to see some fine art. There are numerous cafés along the small streets. Take a café au lait, a croissant and enjoy the music of the street musicians. There are also artists who will paint you as a souvenir. It is a busy spot, but that is kind of lovely around here.
With around 400 feet the hill of Montmartre is also the highest natural elevation in Paris.

The scenery is just fantastic. The view over Paris makes up for the effort of the climb. Next to the Sacre Coeur is the famous painters quarter. Here you can look over the artist's shoulders in the market or just let yourself be painted. The artworks can also be purchased. It's worth a visit.
