Intellectuals and artists such as Picasso, Apollinaire, Chagall, Léger, Duchamp, Giacometti, Dali, and Sartre turned it into a lively area with a large number of cafés. However, the 1960s changed the face of Montparnasse, transforming it into the new business district of the left bank. The most obvious proof of the cultural richness should be the Montparnasse museum, a true revival of the Cantine des Artistes, a canteen where artists and sculptors loved to congregate. Not far from there, the Musée Bourdelle pays tribute to Rodin's assistant through his monumental sculptures.
