Best Parks and Walks in Montmartre, Paris

Guide: Steps, Slopes, and Quiet Hill Corners

Montmartre's outdoor routes use the hill itself: Sacre-Coeur viewpoints, garden paths on the climb, and quieter green pockets toward Lamarck-Caulaincourt. Go early or late for the clearest views; at midday, the cemetery and back-of-hill squares provide more room than the basilica terrace.

  • Sacre-Coeur StepsThe Sacre-Coeur steps provide Montmartre's obvious city view, clearest early or late when the hill has room to breathe. Midday crowds make the terrace a brief viewpoint rather than an all-day hangout.
  • Square Louise MichelSquare Louise Michel gives the climb to Sacre-Coeur a garden frame, with switchback paths, lawns, and changing city views.
  • Square Suzanne BuissonSquare Suzanne Buisson is a quiet green pocket on the back of Montmartre hill, near Lamarck-Caulaincourt and the old mills but removed from the busiest summit lanes.
  • Cimetiere de MontmartreCimetiere de Montmartre adds a leafy, reflective walk below the hill and is a calmer alternative to Sacre-Coeur crowds.
