Your itinerary exploring Montmartre starts at Boulevard de Clichy, in front of number 82. You're standing before the famous Moulin Rouge, which was celebrated in several works by the famous painter Toulouse-Lautrec.
At number 9 in Rue Yvonne Le Tac you can see the place where Saint Dionysius, a 3rd-century bishop and patron saint of Paris, was beheaded. On the right on Rue Lepic, you'll see Moulin de La Galette, which was once a famous outdoor dance hall that has since become a restaurant. The venue is immortalized in a famous Renoir painting from 1876 that MyWoWo has dedicated a separate file to; it is displayed at Musée d'Orsay.
Now walk to Place du Tertre in the heart of Montmartre, and have fun looking at painters and street portraitists with their easels, souvenir shops, and coffee shops....
