Now try the lazy mans way (thats me). Bus 31 or 60 or 80 or 85 or metro line 12 to Mairie du 18th or Jules Joffrin. Then catch Montmartrobus and get off at front of Sacre Coeur and do whatever sightseeing necessary. Then via Place du Tetre find rue Lepic and walk DOWNHILL to the Moulin Rouge. Saves all the uphill flog, the armband merchants and whatever other beggars are about.

i need a little more assistance, pls help...thank u!
Option 1:
- Metro: Abbesses
- walk along r. des Abbesses turn right on rue Tholoze till rue Lepic
Option 2:
- Metro: Blanche
- see Moulin Rouge, walk along bd. de Clichy, turn left on r. Germain Pilon and left on r. des Abbesses
- see windmills Moulin de la Galette %26amp; Moulin Radet
- walk along rue Norvins and find Place du Tertre
- walk along rue Norvins and turn right on rue Saint-Eleuthere and left on rue Azais towards the Sacre Coeur (this way i will not need to walk up the stairs or take the funicular)
Questions:
1. Sacre Coeur: what was your experience of seeing the dome %26amp; crypt?
2. is the Metro Abbesses a long walk to the top, better choice to take the Metro Blanche?
3. will i avoid the %26quot;bracelet scam%26quot; around the area?

I totally agree to navrad - use the bus. It%26#39;s a eight minute ride from metro Pigalle or metro Jules Joffrin in a small 12 seater. A funny and special ride.
As navrad suggested too I prefer the bus from Jules Joffrin because it has a stop in front of Sacre-Coeur. Because of the narrow streets the bus takes different routes on the different directions.
You have to walk so many times in Paris ... - sometimes a bus is really helpful especially when you have to go UP on a steep hill.
Don%26#39;t forget: sometimes you have to stand in queue 20-30 minutes to get a place in the funiculaire.

If you don%26#39;t walk you will miss the Batteaux Lavoir where Picasso lived when he was poor and several other historic sites which are demarked by those %26quot;oars%26quot; in front of the place.
As far as I can recall we walk up your (1) and down your (2). You see alot by doing this.

I would get off at Blanche, go up Rue Lepic, check out the Montmartre vineyard and the view off the back side of Montmartre (gorgeous homes, gorgeous views here), then meander your way to the Place du Tertre and to Sacre Coeur.
|||
I don%26#39;t think that Sacre Couer is a particularly interesting building architecturally and I%26#39;ve always found the interior a bit disappointing. The view across Paris from its steps is the main attraction for me - just sit down on a step and drink it all in (weather permitting, of course!).

thank you for all your replies. since we plan to spend an afternoon in Montmartre, we like to take our time and walk along the streets towards the Sacre Coeur. i like the idea of getting off the Blanche Metro, see Moulin Rouge and then make our way up rue Lepic.
what street is the Montmartre vineyard?
can anyone answer my previous questions:
1. Sacre Coeur: what was your experience of seeing the dome %26amp; crypt?
2. is the Metro Abbesses a long walk to the top, better choice to take the Metro Blanche?
3. will i avoid the %26quot;bracelet scam%26quot; around the area?

Take Rue Lepic from Blanche metro stop.
At 15 you can see the cafe made famous in Amelie (but it looks different now).
Continue up the hill, Van Gogh once lived at 54 and Toulouse Lautrec just around the corner.
At 77 is Moulin de la Galette, one of the two remaining windmills on Montmartre (look up).
Go left at Rue Girardon
You will see a large courtyard with a man coming out of the wall, inspired from the short story Le Passe Muraille.
Continue on Rue de L%26#39;abrevoir on your right. Go left on Rue des Saules. This brings you to the only working vineyard in Paris.
Go right on Rue St. Vincent, just behind the vineyard.
Right on Rue de Mont Cenis
Right on Rue Cortot
Pass Musee de Montmartre on your right.
Left on Rue des Saules (view here).
Left on Rue St. Rustique.
This will bring you to the Place du Tertre.
YOu will absolutely miss the bracelet boys going this route. You will only see folks who live in Montmartre, and possibly some other smart tourists.
You can get to the Place des Abbesses after you visit the Sacre Coeur, descending the stairs about 1/2 way and going right.
Get a GOOD map.

Les68 has a good route for you.
I would add Cafe Poulbot for lunch
or it%26#39;s neighbor Clare de Lune for dinner.
Both on rue Poulbot.

We had a very good dinner at Le Poulbot on our last trip.
