Montmarte: The bohemian heart of Paris

📍Montmartre, my FAVOURITE destination in Paris, is a historic and artistic district in Paris' 18th arrondissement, famous for its cobblestone streets, charming cafés, and breathtaking city views. Once home to legendary artists like Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Montmartre retains its bohemian spirit and remains a hub of creativity.

Check out my pictures for the nice photography spots as well.
