Tertre Square

Piazza Tertres, or Place de la Hill, located in the 18th Municipal District of the city of Paris, is considered the “heart” of Montmartre. Tertres is the highest point and one of the most popular attractions of the capital of France.

Most of the buildings of the square were built in the 18th century. In the early 20th century, such famous artists as Picasso and Utrillo lived on its territory, and the surroundings of Tertra were the center of art. Currently, the square has become a kind of exhibition-fair of works by modern artists and cartoonists. Here you can order your portrait, as well as buy a picture with views of Paris.

The first floors of the nearby houses are occupied by small restaurants and cafes, where you can feel the true bohemian spirit of Montmartre. And the restaurant Mere Catherine in 1793 was famous for the fact that it was from here, with the filing of Russian Cossacks, that the word “bistro” went around the world.
