Sightseeing
Sacre-Coeur
35 Rue du Chevalier de la BarreBeautiful Basilica and great view of Paris
Beautiful little vineyard in Montmartre. If you're around in October (usually second weekend), there is a harvest festival and you can taste the wine made from the grapes of this vineyard, along with many other french wines.

Walk through the same plaza and cobblestoned streets that Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, Gertrude Stein, Hemingway and the other great artists walked during their time in Paris. Just be aware that this is a very touristy spot so keep an eye on your belongings and head up for an early stroll if you can.

One of my favorite views of the Sacre Coeur - surrounded by large sycamore trees you get a great view of the backside of Sacre Coeur.
