Montmartre in Paris
Situated on a 130-metre-high hill, Montmartre is one of the most charming and peculiar neighbourhoods in Paris.
Location
Paris
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.
