Medieval folks referred to it as Montmartre, or “Hill of Martyrs”, after legend stated that their patron saint tucked his decapitated head under his arm and walked from this hill to a more comfortable resting place north of Paris. In more modern times the village of Montmartre at Paris’ highest point, is best known for many painters who frequented its sidewalk cafés. Living and breathing their art and often trading it for a hot meal. Montmartre attracted such great artists as Picasso, Modgliani, Renoir, Manet, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh. Walking around here it is easy to see the indelible mark from Montmartre’s colorful past. The narrow cobble stoned streets are still home to painters capitalizing on the artists whose space they have taken on the Place du Tertre. So take the time to explore the village of Montmartre and see why its sloping streets are still the obsession of painters, photographers and tourists alike. Enjoy ! 1 Table of contents Page 3.
