Lonely Planet Audio Walking Tours: Paris: Montmatre
Thom Hutchinson Audio Book

Montmatre is dominated by a holy hill, upon which stands Sacré-Cœur, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

Painters, composers, poets and singers have flocked here over the years, and in the company of Francois Anseaume, you'll find the shrine of a famous artist, the best bread in Paris, and can follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway, Édith Piaf and even Amélie Poulain - the all-conquering heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film 'Amélie'.

Discover the favourite place of Manet, Monet, Sisley and Pissaro and enjoy the best views for miles around.
