Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Marché Saint-Pierre - fabric store Montmartre might be best known for its artistic history, cafe-culture and the picturesque scenery, but it’s also home to Paris’ fabric district. Situated in the shadows of the Sacré-Cœur, the Marché Saint-Pierre is a treasure trove of tissues. Spread across 5 roads surrounding Place St. Pierre (d’Orsel, Charles Nodier, Livingstone, Seveste, Pierre Picard), the market area is somewhat off the beaten tourist track. While sitting just in front of the basilica, it remains a destination for fashion conscious locals and designers alike. With dozens of shops sprawling the five streets, Marché Saint-Pierre is undoubtably Montmartre’s quickest area. Dominated by the 5-floor Dreyfus , an emporium of classic and modern fabrics, that would take a day to explore. Dreyfus is named after one of the area’s founders, Edmond Dreyfus, who first sold clothes on the corner with Armand Moline. A plethora of fabric stores today surround the store that started it all

Point of Interest

Place du Tertre The Place du Tertre is a square in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. Only a few streets away from Montmartre's Basilica of the Sacré Cœur and the Lapin Agile, it is near the summit of the city's elevated Montmartre quarter. Place du Tertre was the heart of the prestigious Benedictine Montmartre Abbey, established in 1133 by King Louis VI. Montmartre Abbey thrived through the centuries and until the French revolution under the patronage of the Kings of France. Place du Tertre was opened to the public in 1635 as Montmartre village central square. From the end of the 18th century until World War One, the whole Montmartre Boheme could be seen here: painters, songwriters and poets.[1] With its many artists setting up their easels each day for the tourists, the Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was the mecca of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century, many painters including Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Maurice Utrillo were living there, some at the nearby Le Bateau-Lavoir. The Musée de Montmartre, the former home and studio of Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Suzanne Valadon, and the L'Espace Salvador Dalí, a museum principally dedicated to the sculpture and drawings of Salvador Dalí, can be found near Place du Tertre.
