Montmartre
Sacré-Cœur's hilltop neighborhood
Montmartre is a hill and neighborhood in northern Paris, historically associated with artists, bohemian culture, and nightlife.
The area drew painters like Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Today it's known for the Sacré-Cœur basilica, winding streets, and tourist-filled Place du Tertre where artists sell portraits and landscapes.
