What makes Montmartre so unique? Let me show you my favorite spots.
There’s something about Montmartre that always brings me back. I’m not sure if it’s the cobblestone streets, the facades full of history, the light that falls just at the perfect moment… or simply that feeling of being inside a movie.Every corner around the Sacré-Cœur has something special. I’ve experienced magical moments here with many couples: proposals, elopements, casual sessions. Everything feels different in this neighborhood, as if Paris itself slows down, inviting you to take in the sights at a calmer pace.
The Viewpoint in Front of Sacré-Cœur
This spot has witnessed beautiful proposals, couple sessions, and elopements, with the world’s most beautiful city as its backdrop. And the best part? This spot is completely free!
It’s one of my favorite places right in front of Sacré-Cœur. However, keep in mind that it’s usually crowded with tourists, as it’s one of the most visited spots due to its breathtaking view. But don’t worry , I’ll make sure that this special moment becomes unique and unforgettable on the day of your session.
Rue du Chevalier de la Barre
Everything around Sacré-Cœur is beautiful, and this street , located just behind the basilica , is no exception. The sunlight falls so perfectly here, creating divine contrasts in every photograph.
As you walk through this street, you'll find super interesting angles: from quintessential Parisian doors to corners that seem like they’re straight out of a postcard. It’s not just perfect for portraits; it’s also great for capturing images you could use as wallpapers in the future!
The Arch of Sacré-Cœur
Right in front of the basilica, you’ll find three arches that frame one of the most beautiful views of Paris. I love how the light filters through them, creating a contrast that makes everything look like a painting: you in the foreground, with the city as a dreamy backdrop.
Paris isn’t just about beautiful streets; it’s also about these incredible views... and you being the protagonists of every scene.
The Stairs of Sacré-Cœur
The architecture of Paris is truly impressive, even in the details of its cathedrals. The horses on the façade of Sacré-Cœur and its arches make every angle visually captivating.
And of course, having the chance to shoot on its iconic stairs is one of the keys to capturing unique and full-of-character shots. Each step offers a new perspective.
Rue de l’Abreuvoir
At the end of this charming street, you can see the white building with a dome: the impressive Sacré-Cœur. This street is one of the most famous in Montmartre, and it’s no wonder why: here, cobblestone streets, historic old houses, and the magical view of the basilica come together.
Just nearby is the Montmartre Museum, which I also highly recommend visiting. It has lovely galleries and a café in its garden that looks like something out of a fairy tale.
