France

How often does it happen that you are in a place but have almost no time to visit? Well, it 's always better to see something than stay in your hotel room and see nothing at all. So here is what I got to see & do in about 2 hours hours around Montmartre.

There is a special feeling about this neighborhood in Paris, all the stairs around

Au Lapin Agile, which has an interesting story 
"One of the true survivors of Monmartre's bohemian heyday, Au Lapin Agile has weathered its illustrious 150-year history remarkably well. When tracing its past, it can be hard to separate fact from legend – in its infancy, the venue was known as the 'Cabaret des assassins' for the band of killers who supposedly broke in and killed the owner's son. What's more certain is that its current name derives from its insignia: a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan, painted in 1875 by Andre Gill (whose surname was later corrupted to 'agile'). By the turn of the 20th century, Au Lapin Agile was the preferred spot for struggling local artists including Picasso, Utrillo and Modigliani – the former two of which captured the place on canvas, thus eventually propelling it to global fame."

to the beautiful ceramics that you can find @ Iterios Galerie d'art ceramique montmartre

All ceramics are handmade and created by the ceramic artist â€‹Violeta Jerma

 To the cool posters @ Galerie Butte Montmartre
"Editions Ephi was born in Paris on 1967, editing Jazz performances pictures from music players like Miles Davis and Ray Charles. That initial activity evolved into editing French's Arts Nouveaux poster art items from artists like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Theophile Alexandre Steinlen.[...] The gallery focuses on French's Arts Nouveaux poster art items from 1900's Paris but also on Barcelona architecture."

oh, the view
Picture
Sacre Coeur, which during the day you can't drop a pin
"Sacre Coeur is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacre-Coeur is a double monument, political and cultural. [...] The Sacre-Coeur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919" (Source)
