About Montmartre
Montmartre is a hill which is 130 metres
high (the highest point in the area), giving its name to the surrounding district, in the north of Paris (18th
arrondissement). Montmartre is primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit
and as a nightclub district. The other, older, church on the hill is Saint Pierre de Montmartre, which claims
to be the location at which the Jesuit order of priests was founded. Until the 19th century, montmartre hill
was pretty rural and had a number of windmills on it. By the end of the 19th century, the district had become
the principal artistic center of Paris. The town of Montmartre was annexed to Paris in 1860. Until the 20th
cent. Montmartre retained a rural look and provided material for Van Gogh, Pissarro, Utrillo, and other
artists. Many artists lived and worked around the Montmartre area, in different studios according the level of
income they afforded. Place du Tertre is the touristic place where the artists search for some tourist to draw
or paint. Some will quote a low price, just to make you pose. There's a vineyard that dates back to Roman
times so each year, in october, there is a wine festival in Montmartre.
