Full Name
Montmartre
Montmartre rises on a hill in northern Paris, where steep streets, stairways, and cobbled lanes make it a place best explored on foot. From the viewpoints near Sacré Cœur, you’ll get sweeping views across the city. Early morning is one of the best times to visit, before the crowds arrive and while the light is especially clear.
Place du Tertre reflects the area’s artistic past, but Montmartre is much more than its busiest squares. The northern slopes, the streets around Saint Vincent, the lanes near Abbesses, and the paths bordering the cemetery reveal a much quieter side. Some of these corners seem almost unchanged since the 19th century.
For centuries, Montmartre remained a village separate from central Paris. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its inexpensive housing and free spirited atmosphere attracted painters, sculptors, writers, and poets. Renoir worked here, Maurice Utrillo became known for his melancholic views of its streets, and Suzanne Valadon built her artistic career in the neighborhood.
The Bateau Lavoir, a run down artists’ residence, became one of the most important centers of modern art. Max Jacob, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, and Guillaume Apollinaire all spent time here. In 1907, Pablo Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon in the building, a work widely associated with the birth of Cubism and a turning point in European painting.
Montmartre also played a major political role in 1871. When the French government tried to seize the cannons stationed on the hill, part of the army refused to act against the local population. That event triggered the Paris Commune, during which residents and workers attempted to govern the capital themselves for nearly two months.
