Montmartre is known for its many artists who have been omnipresent since 1880. The name Montmartre, an area around a hill in the 18th arrondissement, north of downtown Paris, is said to be derived from either Mount of Martyrs or from Mount of Mars. Until 1873, when the Sacré-Coeur was built on top of the hill, Montmartre was a small village, inhabited by a mostly farming community.

The hill of Montmartre is reached from the Boulevard by way of the Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, and thence by the Rue Blanche or the Rue Pigalle
