Our latest video, the 2nd in a two part series, will be taking us on a stroll of Montmartre<\/a>, another beautiful area of Paris<\/a>, but with a much different feel than the rest of the city. Montmartre is located in the north of the city above Les Grands Boulevards and the Opera. \u00a0Incorporated late into the expanding 19th arrondissement of Paris<\/a>, the neighborhood was able to retain its quaint, village-like atmosphere. Nowadays, Montmartre is a lively bohemian center, making it an interesting stop on any Paris trip.<\/p>\n

This is the second of our two-part series on Montmartre, so if you haven’t yet, I suggest you watch the first part of our video tour of Montmartre, Paris.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tracking Artists in Montmartre<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for art, the Place de Tertre is an art hotspot for tourists. \u00a0Places where famous artists lived can be found scattered on the hill. Keep a look out for plaques on some of the buildings and you may come across 54 rue Lepic, where Vincent Van Gogh lived with his brother on the second floor, or 49 rue Gabrielle where Pablo Picasso live when he first came to Paris. Other former artist homes are not labeled, such as the little houses along the All\u00e9e des Brouillards where Renoir lived (#6) with his family in the 1890s. \u00a0If you think you might like to take home some art, you can browse different artists\u2019 works at the Carre d\u2019Artistes, a sort of ‘art market’ at 16 rue Yvonne le Tac.<\/p>\n

The Bateau Lavoir – 8 Rue Garreau<\/strong><\/p>\n

A must stop for any art lovers is the Bateau Lavoir in Place Emile Goudeau. It was converted into art studios in the 1880s. It was here that the future master artists such as Picasso, Braque and Matisse worked. Picasso painted his first cubist painting here, Les Demoiselles d\u2019Avignon. Sadly, much of the original building was burnt down in 1970, but on rue Burq, you\u2019ll come across a little park where you can see the side of the old Bateau Lavoir.<\/p>\n
