Description
Montmartre is a large hill in Paris (130 m or 430 ft high) and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank in the northern section of the city. The historic district was established by the City of Paris in 1995 and is primarily known for its artistic history, 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. The area of Montmartre is located on the highest point in Paris.
Near the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the twentieth, during the Belle Époque, many artists had studios or worked in or around Montmartre, including Modigliani, Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Pissarro, and van Gogh. Montmartre is also the setting for several hit films.
Montmartre is an officially designated historic district with limited development allowed in order to maintain its historic character. A funicular railway, the Funiculaire de Montmartre, ascends the hill from the south while the Montmartre bus circles the hill. You can also walk along the famous steps leading up to the top of the hill (pictured here). There are 237 steps leading to the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur (I counted them)!!
