Montmartre, known as the "painters' quarter", with its small, steep alleyways lined with terraced restaurants, includes everything from the oldest cabarets to the area around the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. It was an independent town until 1860, when it became the 18th arrondissement of Paris. At the end of the 19th century the neighbourhood acquired a bad reputation due to the cabarets and brothels that were set up in the area, but different artists moved there to turn it into the wonderful place it is today.
