Rue des Saules
Tuesday, 31 October 2006 by Jacob Tomaw
This is looking north from Rue Saint-Vincent where Rue des Saules begins. There are steps down in the middle of the pictures. All over the Montmartre area there are roads with these steps, many of them rather high. Obviously cars do not navigate the steps, but cars do travel on these roads. You can imagine what the terrain must be and how narrow the streets are. Even on the tourist filled street the cars are beeping their way around.
Joscelynn and I spent the first half of a day walking around Montmarte. This is where Amelie was set and filmed. It is also home to the magnificent Basilica of the Sacré Cœur.
