Paris Trip Overview
Montmartre… The sacred hill of the martyrs or the mountain of the god of Mars. The edge of the windmills and vineyards, the settlement of Parisian bohemia of the early 20th century, center of the carefree life of Paris, and birthplace of Parisian cabaret and artistic cafes.
At Montmartre you can find an unrestrained country atmosphere, full of greatness and tranquility.
Dalida lived here and there was a famous hostel of artists, Bateau-Lavoir. In the narrow and winding streets of Montmartre, in its faded cafes, the movie “Amelie” was created. Here also, the striptease and French cancan were performed for the first time in the world.
Proverbs about Montmartre’s artists, writers and cabaret’s dancers have been passed on here by word of mouth for generations. The charm of Montmartre is impossible to resist, and the view of the French capital from the highest point of Paris leaves no one indifferent.
