Montmartre is the artists' and bohemian quarter of the capital and is situated in the 18th arrondissemont or district of Paris,France. Place du Tertre which is the place of artists and the vibrant heart of Montmartre, is in close proximity to the Basillica of Sacre Coeur, itself the crown on the hill or 'Butte Montmartre'. One of the most unusual places in Paris, was imagined and created by the artists at the end of the 1940's. It grew into a large open air studio which has now become one of the most visited sites in Paris. The creation of an original painting or piece of art before your eyes is one of the principal attractions of the 'Butte Montmarte'. This quarter of Paris with it's artistic vocation and rich history has become an unavoidable meeting place for tourists, art collectors and gallery owners. From the end of the 19th, and through the 20th century, Montmartre witnessed the activities of some great painters and styles including Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, and the development of Surrealism and modern painting. Many artists have contributed to the tradition that is Montmartre and include De Jonking, Pissarro, Cézanne, Manet, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Renoir, Picasso Braque, Matisse, Derain, Villon, Duchamp, Dufy, Susanne Valadon, Utrillo and Gen Paul, among others.
