Paris Montmartre, apartments

Montmartre is a very unique and special area of Paris. Located in the hills above the city, Montmartre forms part of the 18^th Arrondissement. Montmartre has many different faces, at once a quaint hilly village and officially designated historic area; it is also home to some of the city's most famous cabarets (including the ‘Moulin Rouge’), a variety of Paris nightclubs, the set of “Amelie”, and also a lively gay and lesbian scene. Those looking for a Montmartre apartment rental will find many to choose from, whether for short-term rental or long-term rental.

Staying in your Montmartre apartment in Paris will give you a jumping point from which to enjoy this quirky area. On the Rue Cortot you will find the famous vineyard of Montmartre (the last vineyard to exist in Paris) which still organises its own harvest each year. Later, head down to the corner of Rue des Saules and Rue St Vincent and visit the Cabaret des Assassins (also known as Au Lapin Agile), a stomping ground for numerous artists including Picasso and Modigliani.

In fact, the area is somewhat renowned for its connection to art, having since the 1800's attracted greats such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who have all either lived, worked or socialised here. A must-see is the Musee Montmartre where you can view works by these great artists. Staying in a Montmartre apartment can feel like living in part of a film-set as the neighbourhood  has played home to a number of films, including "La Vie en Rose" and "Amelie”.

Montmartre’s most famous piece of architecture is undoubtably La Basilique du Sacré-Coeur (The Basilica of the Sacred Heart), constructed from 1876 to 1912. Sitting proudly at the top of the hill, the Basilica is designed in a Roman-Byzantine style of architecture.
