Montmartre
Hilltop village-like quarter of artists, steps and cafés.
For storytellers
Why Montmartre matters
Montmartre still feels like a village on a hill. Cobbled lanes wind past vineyards, tiny squares and cafés where Picasso and other artists once hung out. It is touristy at midday, so wander the side streets and quiet corners.
Talking points
- Artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh lived and worked here.
- A small working vineyard still grows on the hill.
- The nearby Moulin Rouge made the area famous for nightlife.
