10 Sights & Landmarks in Grandes-Carrières That You Shouldn't Miss

July 15, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Montmartre

Located in the 18th Arrondissement, this elevated rural neighborhood on the outskirts of the city has a collection of upscale shops and cafés and still exudes hints of old village charm.

Reviewed By RaeBar - Durban, South Africa

It's hard to believe that Montmatre is part of the frenetically-busy city of Paris! It has an old bohemian village feel about it and has much less traffic. There's loads to see, from the amazing Sacre-Coeur Cathedral towering above the city, to the famous Moulin Rouge, little streets meandering up and down the hillside, the buzzing artists' square of Place du Tertre, the fascinating old Cemetary, loads of cafes, restaurants & galleries and so much more!

Cimetiere de Montmartre

This cemetery is the final resting place of Émile Zola, Edgar Degas, Alexandre Dumas as well as other artistic luminaries.

As part of our tour in Montparnasse we also decided to visit the cemetery. Really worth going there. At the entrance you either use the maps or download them to your cellphone. In the map there is a list of all the famous people who are buried there and the exact place of burial. Very easy and friendly to use. The cemetery itself is very beautiful . I felt very excited standing aside some of the great names which are part of the French history and had great influence all over the world.

Great statue and brilliant story behind it. What would you do if you could walk through walls? Not that far from Sacre Coeur, then pretty walk back down into Paris centre.

Dalida Statue

Reviewed By AtefZ - Giza, Egypt

From the square named after her and her statue therein, to her house, and final resting place in Montmartre Cemetery. A must see for all her fans. A bit of a walk (not very long) but expect to go up and down the famous steep streets of the area.

Moulin Radet

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

Walking up the hill to Montmartre, was a little tiring however, worth the effort to see this windmill that was built in the 1700’s , used to ground flour, which one of many dotted around the hill, this one currently sits above a restaurant, awesome piccies to be had.
