Walking tour to Montmartre

Montmartre was and remains one of the most picturesque and curious quarters of Paris. Every artist, from the most famous to the little-known, left a trace of his life and work in Montmartre. At the top of the Montmart hill majestically stands the Basilica of Sacre Coeur, built in the Romano-Byzantine style. From here you can admire the vast panorama of the city and its surroundings for many kilometers around.

A small square where artists always meet. Getting your portrait painted has become a tradition. Small houses, restaurants, narrow streets. A village in town! Montmartre was not annexed to Paris until 1890. And there are vineyards, mills. And his mysteries, for example, the monument to “Walking through walls.” Nearby, on Rue Corto, are the oldest houses in Montmartre. In one of them, at number 12, stayed Renoir, Dufy, Valandon - famous artists. And here is "Let's be at home" - a restaurant on Justique: Cezanne, Modigliani, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, Zola often met here. Montmartre throughout the XIX century was known as the Mecca of the bohemian world. How not to visit the cafe where Amélie worked? How not to sit in the square against the wall, where in all languages it says "I love you." Going down from the Hill to see another mill of Paris - the famous cabaret "Moulin Rouge" for more than 120 years here the public admires the cancan! After the performance, you can walk to Pigalle Square and see representatives of the oldest profession. But this is the foot of Montmartre. All the interesting things are up there.
