Montmartre


Head to Montmartre, it is a hill of 130 metres high and is where the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur is situated. This area was also home to many famous artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Edgar Degas. Take a walk to The Artists' Square (Place de Tertre in Montmartre) where artists gather to paint and display their works for sale. The many painters of Place du Tertre are always ready to sketch out your face. They remind us of the many pennyless artists, who lived a Bohemian life in late 19th century / early 20th century Montmartre.
