The place du Tertre in Montmartre

Montmartre is well known as the last village in Paris. The place du Tertre, a few streets away from the Sacré-Coeur Catholic basilica, is the heart of Montmartre.

Many painters (right) settle on Place du Tertre. They propose to paint your portrait. This will be a great souvenir of your stay in Paris.

The Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was setting the trend of modern art: at the beginning of the 20th century, many pennyless painters,  including Pablo Picasso, were living there.

We recommend you to visit the Place du Tertre in the morning to avoid the crowd. As you can see on the left, the Place du Tertre can also be romantic at night.

A simple and practical way to visit Montmartre is on a Paris guided tour.
