Montmartre
Rue
d'Orsel is situated in Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement, just
around the corner from the steps and funicular to the Sacré-Coeur
basilica, the
world-renowned monument built in distinctive white stone, which offers
some of the best panoramic views over the city.
Montmartre,
one of the villages of Paris, retains much of its period charm and
appeal. Frequented by artists, musicians and bohemians in its
heyday, little has changed. Quality boutiques, bars and restaurants
make this a great area for shopping and exploring but, true to
character, a number of the city's most famous night-spots - Madame
Arthur, Michou and Le Divan - can also be found nearby on the rue des
Martyrs.
The cobbled streets and stairs of
Montmartre again found global fame in 'Amelie' the quaint and quirky
2001 film.
