About Lamarck – Caulaincourt
Lamarck–Caulaincourt is a Montmartre hillside station on Line 12, featuring a unique double entrance connected by a dramatic open-air stairway cut into the hillside rock. The upper exit opens directly onto the back streets of Montmartre village near the vineyard and the Musée de Montmartre, offering a quieter and more authentically Parisian alternative entry point than the crowds at Sacré-Cœur.
