Sacre Coeur
Painters and poets,
from Picasso to Apollinaire, the art in Paris always led to Montmartre, which will always be associated with the bohemian lifestyle of the late 19th and early 20th century. Today there are still many artists, painting portraits of tourists in the stunning Place du Tertre. Some say it derives from Montmartre “Mount of Martyrs”, which honors the first bishop of Paris, St Denis, beheaded here by the Romans in 250 AD. The Parisians ironically call it “Butte” (small hill), because it is the highest point of the city. Crowds of tourists climb the mountain to enjoy the magnificent views from the Sacré-Coeur one of the most beautiful basilicas of the world. Tourists never left the main square empty no matter what time of the day is. Stroll around it means discover the charm of Montmartre in the winding side streets, small squares and terraces. At the base of the hill of Montmartre, lies the Pigalle area famous for old ballrooms and its cabarets like the Moulin Rouge. it is for sure one of the most lively neighborhood of Paris.
