One of Paris’ most charming neighborhoods, Montmartre sits on a hill overlooking the city's downtown. It’s a great place in which to wander up and down hills, past charming markets, inviting cafes and bakeries. A must see is the crown jewel of the neighborhood, beautiful Sacré Coeur cathedral.
Montmartre has been home to artists for well over a century. Impressionist painters like Van Gogh and Renoir frequented these streets and lived nearby. You'll still find struggling artists when you explore Montmartre today.
During our visit to Montmartre, one square in particular was filled with artists and their work. We ended up chatting and buying a painting from the rather shy woman seen in the above photo. Obviously talented and with a little gentle prodding she agreed to let me snap this shot.
