Is Montmartre better in day or night?

Montmartre is safe at night, but there's nothing to see; all the interesting activity (artists, shops, etc.) takes place during the day. Sacré-Cœur is nicely lit in the evening, but that's about it. Some areas to the east of Sacré-Cœur are dicey in the evenings, but tourists never go there, anyway.
