Montmartre
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I recommend exploring the Marais and/or Montmartre if you have the time.
- Food favorite: Montmartre was my favorite arrondissement with its cobblestone streets.
- Besides the main sights, definitely walk around Montmartre and just wander along the Seine—those ended up being some of my favorite parts.
- Got to Montmartre around sunset and it was pretty crowded, with people sitting on the steps just watching the sky get darker. City lights slowly came on and the rooftops stretched out in every direction.
Cons
- Montmartre used to have painters, tiny galleries, and even a few seedy bars. It had a real bohemian charm. Now it is mostly Instagram photo shoots, souvenir shops, and influencer crowds.
