Self-catering holiday homes: 18th Montmartre apartment with pool

Make a holiday rental house or apartment in Montmartre, Paris your home away from home

Set on a hill near the centre of Paris, Montmartre provides an elegant viewpoint over the city of Paris. Many people who have visited Paris will have seen the Basilica of the Sacre Coeur from afar, sitting regally on the summit of the Montmartre hill, proudly overlooking the whole area. It is the greenest sector of Paris, and you can still have a cup of coffee under the shade of a tree or visit one of the last remaining windmills in the Paris area.

Things to do on holiday in Montmartre, Paris

When you first arrive in Montmartre, a quick tour of the Basilica de Sacre Coeur is an essential activity. The white 19th century Catholic hub dominated the Parisian skyline, from its vantage point on the highest peak in the area. There are some wonderfully secluded little spots around the Basilica, which you certainly won’t expect as you walk up the tourist packed cobbled streets on the way up towards it.

There has always been a rich artistic heritage in Montmartre. Artists like Monet, Picasso and Van Gogh all spent time enjoying the bohemian lifestyle of Montmartre, and there are still a huge number of artists in the streets around the Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. You can get a portrait done with ease, and art lovers will undoubtedly be attracted by the Espace Dali, the largest permanent Dali exhibition outside of Barcelona.

The Montmartre Moulin Rouge cabaret, brought to infamy by the 2001 film, is a magnificent place to spend an evening away from your Montmartre apartment. You can have a terribly chic evening meal, whilst girls perform the French cancan adorned in feather boas, glistening rubies and flashing sequins.
