Place du Tertre (Montmartre)

La Place du Tertre is located in the 18th district of Paris, on the Montmartre hill a few meters from Saint-Pierre de Montmartre and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

The square is famous for painters, who exhibit and paint their portraits and works in the open air.

It is one of the most emblematic places of Montmartre and one of the main tourist attractions of Paris.

It is a reminder of the Parisian bohemian of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, where Montmartre was the birthplace of Impressionism.

In the early twentieth century, several poor painters who were later known worldwide, such a Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani and Utrillo were painting there.
