Sacre Coeur
For some reason, we’ve had problems navigating up to Sacre Couer
We usually walk up the Rue Lepic, past Amelie’s Café des Deux Moulins
Several Blocks up the hill, go left (instead of right)
Pass the Blue Door where Vincent Van Gogh lived temporarily
And Keep Climbing to the top (when in doubt, keep climbing)
Circle Counter-Clockwise around the Basilica to the front
OR
From the Anvers Metro, climb up the street to the Funicular (tram to top of Sacre Couer)
Climb the flight of stairs alongside the tram
TO RETURN
Decent Stairs along tram, down the street to Anvers Metro
Proceed West (left) down the Boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart (major walkway and dog walk in the center of street)
Which becomes the Boulevard de Clichy, continue past Pigalle Metro
Before the Blanche Metro you will find one of our favorite (establishments) Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat)
Not pretentious, not run-down, clean, not empty, feels like familiar locals line up at the Coffee Bar (that checks all the boxes)
