Montmartre is one of the favourite tourist spots in Paris, and it makes sense, as it's truly beautiful. But being a local, the last thing you want is to be surrounded by hoards of tourists (Yeah, Parisians can be bitchy, it's okay, we embrace it), and the beauty of Montmartre is that is you stray a little from the main itinerary, and discover some amazing streets and get that real Montmartre village feeling. Be forwarned, there will be no Place du Tertre or Sacré-Cœur here (okay, maybe just a little :P)
