Was there a few months ago. Does not realy mater what part you stay in as the Metro (underground) gets you into the centre in ten minuites.
Lovely place though and remember to take your best cloths as they dress well. lol

His mate picks your pocket while you're pre-occupied with the ring/cigarette ash/€50 note etc. !!! Don't you get out much? :D:D
Montmartre has surprisingly cheap hotels. Renowned as the red light area, that's all a bit exaggerated. Quite nice streets for daytime strolling.
If you're gonna be ordering pints of beer, then you might as well wear a knotted handkerchief on your head, a union flag T-shirt, and expect Parisien waiters to treat you like a god! :D

i thought that but they were always on their own.me and the wife even watched one to try and work out the scam as we walked along the seinne and he was definetely on his own as were the others.i think it was a mickey mouse ring and they wanted a reward:scratch:
