Montmartre reaches out of the evenness of Paris. The place is named after a hill which is 130 meters in height, mainly popular for its white dome shaped Basilica and an old church, Saint Pierre de Montmartre. The church is historic, more than eighty years old and it looks stunning in bright sunlight as the white stone reflects the light. Montmartre is also famous for its countless small streets which have been both residences and studios to a predominance of the west’s enormous 19th and 20th century artists and craftsmen from Degas to Monet and Picasso to Dali. This place is characterized by many young, promising artists who sell their art work both commercially and non-commercially.

The mountain and its surrounding regions have had a turbulent past. When Napoleon and his associates planned to form Paris into the most beautiful city in the world, they drove out the inhabitants towards the edges of the town and occupied the land towards the center of the town. This led to civilization reaching the areas of Montmartre and its foothill regions. Later, during the Russian invasion of France, Montmartre was used as a pinnacle for attack, with its height being used to perfectly survey Paris and surrounding regions. Since then, Montmartre has developed a culture of its own. Famous for its wine, Montmartre was the hub of home-made wines during the medieval times, when nuns made their own wines. Today, wines from this region are exported the world over.
