Monmartre - Our Favorite Area

One of the best kept secrets of Paris is the delightfully Bohemian neighborhood of Monmartre. Away from much of the tourist hustle and bustle, Monmarte is a neighborhood north of the Seine that is hilly, filled with fun cafes and beautiful architecture. We met up with the owner of La Cave Cafe who is originally from New York and now owns a cafe in Monmartre. I highly recommend his cafe for a cappucino or a bite to eat.
When we go back to Paris next time, we will stay in MonMartre. The people are more relaxed than busier portions of Paris. If you are looking for a more adult experience, Monmartre captures the essence of Paris without the huge crowds associated with the Tour de Eiffel and other high traffic areas.
