The Bohemia of Montmartre
The greatest painters of the late 19th and early 20th century, Renoir, Degas, Pissarro, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, Braque...... lived their bohemian life on the Montmartre hill. At the time, Montmartre was a paradise for artists, it was the countryside just closed by Paris. The bohemian past is inscribed in every street, in every cabaret. This island isolated from the Parisian frenzy and its Haussmann-style transformations has managed to keep this bewitching soul! 

Walk : Place des Abbesses - Moulin de la Galette - Rue Lepic - Place du Tertre - Lapin Agile - Avenue Junot
