Montmartre<\/h3>\n<p>For <em>les fl\u00e2neurs<\/em> or those wanting to immerse themselves in the artistic and cultural ambiance of bygone Paris Montmartre is hard to beat. Here, you will find narrow lanes, winding hills, dazzling nightlife, and memories of the greatest artists, singers, writers and poets nostalgically embedded in the cobblestone. You can almost hear <em>la m\u00f4me<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2015\/dec\/16\/edith-piaf-paris-anniversary-birthday-concerts-belleville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piaf\u2019s<\/a> gritty realism as you step out from the Abbesses metro into the heart of Montmartre with the glorious Sacr\u00e9-Coeur Cathedral inviting you to pause, reflect and breathe in the magnificent views of the City of Lights. Wander down the rue du Chevalier de la Barre, used by Woody Allen in <em>Midnight in Paris<\/em>, and drop into <a href=\"http:\/\/au-lapin-agile.com\/anglais\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Au Lapin Agile<\/a> to hear accordion players whisk you back to the heyday of the <em>la chanson fran\u00e7aise<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1905\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1905\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1905 img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Montmartre_-_Le_funiculaire.jpg\" alt=\"Montmartre Paris\" width=\"560\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Montmartre_-_Le_funiculaire.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Montmartre_-_Le_funiculaire-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montmartre and its funicular circa 1900<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2. Latin Quarter<\/h3>\n<p>Take a walking tour through the bohemian Latin Quarter, home to historic landmarks, medieval streets, riverside book sellers, universities as well as the enduring traces of some of France\u2019s most important artistic and literary figures.

Shakespeare and Company<\/h3>\n<p>Within the Latin Quarter you will also find the iconic bookstore Shakespeare and Company. Founded by George Whitman in 1951, and originally called Le Mistral, it quickly became a meeting place for Anglophone writers and readers, and is now firmly considered a \u201cLeft Bank literary institution\u201d. (1) In 2006, George posted a sign letting customers know that his daughter Sylvia would be taking the reigns: \u201cEach monastery had a <em>fr\u00e8re lampier<\/em> whose duty was to light the lamps at nightfall. I have been doing this for fifty years. Now it is my daughter\u2019s turn.\u201d (1) No visit to Paris would be complete without a stop at this atmospheric bookstore.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1906\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1906\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1906 img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Paris-George-Whitman.jpg\" alt=\"shakespeare and co paris\" width=\"560\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Paris-George-Whitman.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Paris-George-Whitman-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1906\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Founder George Whitman at Shakespeare and Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4.
