The
18th Arrondissment of Paris is home of the very famous Sacré
Coeur Basilica. A beautiful monument that is located on Paris’s highest point.
Last Wednesday a few friends and I headed up to the beautiful church to explore
it and the wonderful views. The 18th Arrondissment varies in
cultural virtues seeing as on the east side of Montmartre there is the
reputable Sacré Coeur and on the other we have the Moulin Rouge located in
the West. It is a wonderful area in the Montmartre neighborhood that is filled
with delightful cafés and restaurants. The trek to the top of the Basilica was quite a
journey that took many steps and stairs but was worth it for the amazing view
of Paris. This is a monument I will return to for the
amazing basilica and view.

While exploring this neighborhood I
stopped for some delicious gelato at Tutti Sensi. The gelato in
france is to die for and a frequent treat I love to eat.

The views from the top of
the Sacré Coeur are amazing because you are able to see the whole
city of Paris

A stop I made was to the very famous Moulin Rouge Cabaret located in the 18th Arrondissement. With its extravagant reputation the Moulin Rouge acts as a cultural centerpiece in an area renown for its carnal after hour scene.
