Montmartre and Saint Lazare station
Any district can be compared with Montmartre.
Situated at the top of the "Mound", you will feel a very particular atmosphere there. It is not only for the Sacre Coeur, the cabarets that we go to Montmartre but also for the atmosphere, its wine and its sinuous roads.
the district has big history. Everything begins with the druids who settled down there then the mound was invaded by the Christian buildings because a bishop and an archidiacre were beheaded on the Mound. At the end of the XIXéme century, the numerous cabarets and houses clauses open their doors and district won its reputation of disreputable district which attracted middle-class persons, painters and artists in search of strong sensations.
Vincent Vincent van Gogh and Eugène Delacroix lived there. The district did not change since this time except for the place Du Tertre which is full of tourists and portrait painters. One finds the atmosphere of former days by roaming in the mazes of the sinuous streets around the Mound.
