Where to stay in Ménilmontant
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The hill sets the terms. Ménilmontant runs north from the Père Lachaise Cemetery to the Parc de Belleville, between Avenue Jean-Aicard on the west and Rue Pelleport on the east, and an 87 m rise sits inside those four edges. The Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix de Ménilmontant and the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin are the two names most stays are planned around.
Legs matter more than distance.

What is the history of Ménilmontant?

The Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix de Ménilmontant carries the neighbourhood's name in its own.
