The district of Montmartre became famous for its bohemian flair in the late 19th and early 20th century, with artists taking advantage of the lower rents and proximity to the red-light district of Pigalle. The area has a long history that dates back to the Roman era and contains several must-see sights for any trip to Paris, including the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur, the Moulin Rouge, and the Cimetière de Montmartre where painters such as Degas and other French icons, such as François Truffaut, are buried. Guided tours take you up and down the hill of Montmartre and will show you where iconic artists found inspiration, painted, and drank.
