Half-city, half-village, and sitting above Paris, Montmartre has inspired painters since the 19th century. Pissarro, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Toulouse-Lautrec loved to spend time here in search of inspiration and share their ideas over a drink on the café terraces. Caricaturists and other amateur painters try to maintain a tradition that sometimes seems nothing more than a tourist industry. The best way to explore Montmartre is by walking around or taking the cable car to really soak up the unique atmosphere of this corner of the capital.
