Montmartre and its streets

 You've probably heard of the famous "sinking house" of Montmartre, but what is it, and where can you find it? This charming street is situated in the 18th arrondissement, and it begins at the top of Montmartre, wrapping around the hill and eventually leading to Avenue de Saint-Ouen. Named after the celebrated French naturalist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck, the street was officially opened in 1867.

Montmartre is a majestic landmark of Paris, about which experienced guides will tell you in great detail, excursions of which can be ordered here - excurzilla.com

Also in Paris there is a very profitable car rental service - bookingauto.com

If you're a romance buff, then Montmartre and its streets are a must-see. Known for its street art and lively atmosphere, Montmartre's streets have preserved a village-like atmosphere, thanks to building regulations. You won't be able to miss a chance to see this mural or the wall of love on Rue Abbesses, which links La Bonne-Franquette and the Rue du Mont Cenis.

Rue de l'Abreuvoir is one of the most beautiful streets in Montmartre. You'll notice the ivy-covered walls of the half-timber houses that line the streets. Place Dalida, a tribute to the French music icon Dalida, is on this street. For the best street views in Montmartre, head up the stairs to the top of Rue Girardon.

Tourist traps abound in Montmartre, so avoid them. You'll want to spend a few days exploring the neighborhood and avoid the tourist traps. You can also avoid having your portrait sketched, and you can pick up an Eiffel Tower keyring from the street vendors, but don't forget to ask what that string is for! You don't want to be scammed by a sketch artist!

While you're in Montmartre, check out its famous Place du Tertre. This once-exclusive Benedictine abbey was opened to the public during the French Revolution, and soon became a bustling town square where artists, musicians, and locals gathered. Today, this is a place where you can buy beautiful paintings, and even get a portrait painted of yourself! But don't get too carried away - you won't find a better price anywhere else!

Rue de l'Abreuvoir is one of the prettiest streets in Montmartre. You can also visit Maison Rose restaurant here, where the pink walls and green shutters are the perfect backdrop for your Instagram photos. The 1850s-style house was a popular spot for promising artists. It became famous in 1900 after a painting by Maurice Utrillo was published. A tour of the city's streets will provide you with a sense of the rich history of the area.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
