Your journey begins near the Moulin Rouge, the birthplace of the modern can-can, which continues to dazzle visitors with its vibrant nightlife and rich history. As you move through the winding streets, you'll arrive at the apartment where Vincent Van Gogh lived with his brother Theo from 1886 to 1888. Here, amidst the struggle and passion, some of his most important works were conceived.
A short stroll away is the space where Picasso lived and worked, transforming the art world forever with his groundbreaking approach to painting and sculpture. This area, teeming with artistic energy, was a melting pot for creatives from around the globe.
Next, visit Dalida's House, the residence of the iconic singer who became a symbol of Montmartre. Her legacy adds a layer of glamour and tragedy to the area's rich tapestry.
