Paris, France - Video Tour of Montmartre (Part 1)
Hello and welcome for another video tour of a fantastic neighborhood in Paris by New York Habitat ( ). In this video, we visit the lovely district of Montmartre, a Paris neighborhood with winding streets that give the feeling that you have left Paris, which is one of the trendiest and most curious districts of the city.
This will be the first of a two-part series of video tours on this fantastic neighborhood.
Also, feel free to watch other great video tours of Paris neighborhoods, such as this one of the Champs Elysees ( ) or this one of Saint-Germain-des-Pres ( ).
Montmartre, or the Mountain of the Martyrs, most likely gets its name from the martyr Saint Denis. When wandering around up on the hill, be sure to keep an eye out for the headless statue of Saint Denis hidden in a little garden.
Sacre-Coeur, the white-domed church on the top of La Butte, is actually much younger than it looks, and was the subject of much controversy when it was built in 1914. The building of the church helped lead to tourism in the city and especially to the Montmartre area as the French flocked to see the church, even though most of the artists and bohemian characters were firmly against the building of such a massive religious structure in Montmartre.
The Moulin Rouge is perhaps the most famous, or rather infamous, cabaret in the world. The red windmill was inspired by the thirty or so windmills that dotted Montmartre at the time it opened in 1889. The once ultra-risqué birthplace of the cancan dance has now turned into a sort of tourist Mecca.
If you really want to absorb yourself into the culture and daily life of Montmartre, there is no better way to truly enjoy your stay in Paris than to book a vacation rental in Paris with New York Habitat.
Located just next to the Moulin de la Galette in Montmartre, this furnished studio ( ) is on the 5th floor of a 19th Century walk-up building. This apartment has wood floors throughout, an open fully equipped kitchen, and a massage shower.
On the ground floor, and easily accessible, this one-bedroom furnished apartment in Montmartre ( ) features all the basic amenities, including cable TV and a DVD player, has the luxury of air conditioning, and is furnished with 2 single beds and 2 single sized sofa beds for sleeping up to 4 people.
Do not hesitate to visit our website ( ), where you will find even more outstanding vacation rentals ( ) and furnished apartments ( ) provided to you by New York Habitat.
While the cabaret at the Moulin Rouge was more for wealthy Parisian men, the Moulin de la Galette held a Bal Populaire, which was an event that anyone could attend in the garden, for the locals to bring their sweethearts on the weekend. It was there that the impressionist artist Renoir painted his masterpiece, the Bal du Moulin de la Galette.
While most of the cabarets down closer to the boulevards were full of dancing girls and well off Parisians, the little Lapin Agile was the artists' hangout. The artistic cabaret changed names several times until one finally stuck --Le Lapin Agile, the Agile Rabbit, a play on words regarding the artist Andre Gill, who painted the playful rabbit trying to escape his fate in a sizzling frying pan.
The area continues to have a great nightlife buzz. Grab a seat at Le Saint (7 Rue Saint-Séverin) if you want to experience a real local's bar for a coffee or beer, or head to La Fourmi if you are after a drink or two amongst the cool Montmartois If you are in the sparkling mood, check out Call Me Bubbles (54 Rue Custine), a tiny but trendy new Champagne bar behind Sacre Coeur.
If it is clubbing you're after try the famous club Folies Pigalle (11 Place Pigalle) or the recently revived Bus Palladium (6 Rue Fontaine), with live music or DJs depending on the night.
Be sure to check NY Habitat blog too, where you can find plenty of information about the area of Montmartre in Paris
Thank you for watching this video tour by New York Habitat. We hope to see you soon in the fabulous streets of Montmartre!

Extreme adventures in breathtaking canyon of Les Gorges de Carança in Pyrenees-Orientales, France
Discover the scenic trail of Les Gorges de la Carança with us! It is a picturesque hike in the canyon of the La Carança river where you'll go through the hanging bridges, river waterfalls and very steep cliffs. So be prepared for the extreme walk at the edge of a cliff! You'll meet lots of breathtaking landscapes along the way, so don't forget to grab a camera with you!
#GorgesdelaCarança #randonnée #canyon #extreme #hike #ruta #ascensión #mountains #route #trail #valley #hikingtour #climb #walkingtour #footpath #inthewoods #forest #Pyrenees #PyrénéesOrientales #France #walkingnatureworld #trekking #exploration #travel #adventure #travelvlog #relaxingmusic #naturesounds
The Les Gorges de la Carança trail can't be considered a very difficult hike. You won't encounter very steep uphills or downhills, but there are places on the way like huge rocks that you need to go over, a very loose hanging bridge with some ladder to come down and the most extreme part of the route - the path that goes along the steep cliff. So be sure to be wearing comfortable clothes and shoes without caring any heavy weight and probably grab a pair of hiking poles for help. We were doing this trail in the middle of October and would highly recommend to hike there in autumn when the leaves start to turn yellow, it creates a different atmosphere and we just love autumn. But you can obviously go there in any season, just be aware that in winter it might be closed due to the weather conditions and we woudn't recommend going there in snowy weather anyway, it can be very dangerous. The hike will take you around 4 hours to complete depending a lot on your physical abilities, amount of breaks, etc.
Hope you enjoyed our video! Leave us a comment if you have any further questions left or just want to share your experience. We would love to read your feedback - it is very important to us!
We hope that you found this video useful and interesting to watch.

France is a country whose territory consists of metropolitan France in western Europe, as well as several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. The overseas territories include French Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The country's 18 integral regions (five of which are situated overseas) span a combined area of 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and a total population of 67.15 million (as of October 2017). France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban centres include Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Nice, Toulouse and Bordeaux.
During the Iron Age, what is now metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. Rome annexed the area in 51 BC, holding it until the arrival of Germanic Franks in 476, who formed the Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages following its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453). During the Renaissance, French culture flourished and a global colonial empire was established, which by the 20th century would be the second largest in the world. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots). France became Europe's dominant cultural, political, and military power under Louis XIV. In the late 18th century, the French Revolution overthrew the absolute monarchy, established one of modern history's earliest republics, and saw the drafting of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day.
In the 19th century Napoleon took power and established the First French Empire. His subsequent Napoleonic Wars shaped the course of continental Europe. Following the collapse of the Empire, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments culminating with the establishment of the French Third Republic in 1870. France was a major participant in World War I, from which it emerged victorious, and was one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis powers in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains today. Algeria and nearly all the other colonies became independent in the 1960s and typically retained close economic and military connections with France.
France has long been a global centre of art, science, and philosophy. It hosts Europe's third-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and leads the world in tourism, receiving around 83 million foreign visitors annually. France is a developed country with the world's seventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, and ninth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fourth in the world. France performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, and human development. France is globally considered a great power in the world, being one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council with the power to veto and is an official nuclear-weapon state. It is a leading member state of the European Union and the Eurozone. It is also a member of the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie.
