There are several ways to go up to Montmartre in Paris. If you're very adventurous you can take a car (good luck with that). The most convenient way is to take the metro to Anvers and then either take the Funiculaire up to Sacré-Cœur or walk up to the basilica. Or - and that is the most challenging option - you can walk all the way up. Or should I better say, climb?
It's a steep hill. The "price" on top of it are gorgeous views over Paris
and of course the lively scene on top of the hill. There is more than "just" Sacré-Cœur - but that will be covered in a later post. Today I am concentrating on the stairs up the hill - and the fences that accompany these paths.
This is the very last part up to the basilica - when you're already sweaty and out of breath.
I'm linking up to Theresa's "Good Fences" again!

Oh I've done that 'climb' so many times Carola j'adore and it's sooo worth it for the view AND how good it is for the derriere :)
This is a place that I absolutely loved in Paris!
It is incredibly beautiful - but I strongly suspect beyond me. Thank you so much for taking this path - and sharing the magic.
oh, i love the narrow stairs and the woodsiness of it! the big ribbons of stairs are neat to see, too. thanks for sharing this!
so beautiful and would love to see it, but this will have to be my visit.. love that last shot of the steps and fence.
Love the fences, the guard railings and the worn stone steps made from countless of visitors visiting Paris. I wonder who? and for how long? How old are those steps?
My favorite is the third photo with steps descending downward.
What a lovely place, and I hope some day that I will be able to walk this same place.
Quite a climb up and down but lovely fences on the side.
Wow the view is fantastic. I'd never make the climb though. Stairs and my knees don't get along very well. Perhaps if I rested (a lot) I might make it to the top. Thankfully I have your wonderful photos so I can see it without the hard work of getting there.
It's been so long since I did that.
Good to see your photos of the steps.
what a view!
Amazing!!! What a trip. Seriously. That view from the trail/stairway is like looking down a huge metropolis...a still right out of a movie set. Lovin' it.
Thanks for sharing Carola--stunning views! A favorite place in the City of Lights...Susie
love the narrow stairs..the fence with the X's...love the whole post.
Gorgeous photos!
I would love to know Paris...
Thank you for visiting my place today. Was in Paris a long time ago, but never saw this. Thanks for another adventure through your lens.
Incredible photos. So nice to visit with you.
How wonderful your photos are Carola, and as I was in Paris only a short time ago, I was very interested in your post. I didn't get to see much of Paris only being there for a couple of days, but I will bookmark your post as I would love to go back and see some of these sights. Thank you so much!
This is lovely - I would love to do this some day. Never say never. I think it would be worth the climb, no need to rush after all.

I am breathing hard just looking at the photos.
A pretty view along the way but I'm not sure I could I could make it to the top!!
I was there once! Lovely trip.

Beautiful photos! Did you know that in the past, Bucharest, capital of Romania, was called "Little Paris"? :)
Great views!
Very pretty!
Taking the climb looks to be a lot more interesting than a half hour on the treadmill.

These are great views and stairs I would like to go down! :-)
I would for sure be hanging on those fence tops on my way up!
Beautiful views and good for you for making it to the top!
Lovely photos. Seems like an adventure just to get there.
What a LOVELY climb with stairs and wonderful fences to enjoy the great scene♡♡♡
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
