Introduction
Montmartre rises on a hill in northern Paris and is one of the city's most artistic quarters. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries many painters and writers lived here — Picasso and Van Gogh among them — and the area still keeps its cobbled lanes, studios and open-air easels. At the top, the white-domed Sacré-Cœur looks out over the city, with the steps and the funicular the usual ways up. Below, Place Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge area have lively nightlife, a contrast to the quiet up on the hill. The streets climb and descend and the crowds are dense, so slow down and take in the lanes, vineyard and squares.
