Low cost hotel in Montmartre: artistic Paris

In the artists’ footsteps at La Butte Montmartre

A stay in the capital is an occasion to explore some of its most renowned and historically rich quarters. From your hotel in Montmartre, you’ll be able to explore the very soul of Paris. Its ideal situation lets you take full advantage of its village charms and plunges you into the world of painters and film-makers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Two Ibis hotels are located less than 500 metres from the Moulin Rouge and the Ibis Sacré-Cœur is right next to the famous monument.

Visiting the Sacré-Cœur

Visit the bustling quarter and its cultural hotspots like the Montmartre museum, Espace Dali and the Renoir gardens. The Place du Tertre is a favourite spot of pencil artists and cartoonists, who sketch the passers-by. To explore the Butte off the beaten track, there are routes and guided visits of the village’s backstage belvederes and secret places. Montmartre is also renowned for its myriad small restaurants and bistros offering menus at affordable prices. The cherry on the cake of a memorable evening is a show at the Moulin Rouge or Chez ma Cousine, not far from your Ibis hotel.

Perched on the hill, the Sacré-Cœur basilica offers an outstanding vantage point overlooking the whole of Paris. You can ride a cable-car to the top, but the sportiest among us will prefer to climb the stairs or make their way up through the adjoining streets criss-crossing the quarter from your low cost hotel in Montmartre. Construction started on the basilica in 1875 and only ended in 1923. Today, the monument is one of the icons of the Paris skyline. Visitors are allowed into the crypt where statues of saints are kept and can also climb the 300 steps to the dome to take in the panoramic view of the capital.
