Monmatre - Vibrant and Difficult for Harley's

This town, which smirks down on Paris, is alive with a capital "A". Bars restaurants, moulins aplenty all congregate on this high hill. Paris may
be for lovers but Monmatre is for the fancy free.
H, who had booked the hotel and was navigating, stopped his bike and informed me that 'it doesn't appear we can get directly there on the bikes...' Translated, this meant we had to walk 1.5 km from the car park, up the steepest b****y hill this side of the Pyrenees in 28c to get to the hotel. He bought dinner later so was forgiven.
