Guide: Montmartre Basilica, Artists, and Old Windmills

Montmartre culture spans the basilica, artist studios, village squares, surviving windmills, and the hill's long place in Paris art history.

  • Basilique du Sacre-CoeurBasilique du Sacre-Coeur is Montmartre's white-domed hilltop church, with mosaics, crypt spaces, a dome climb, and one of the city's most recognizable silhouettes. Its position makes the basilica both a religious site and a Paris viewpoint.
  • Musee de MontmartreMusee de Montmartre occupies 17th-century houses and gardens where artists including Renoir once worked. The museum covers Montmartre's studios, cabarets, posters, village life, and bohemian art history.
  • Place du TertrePlace du Tertre is Montmartre's artist square, lined with portrait painters, cafes, and narrow streets that keep the neighborhood's open-air studio identity visible. Portraiture remains part of the square's public life rather than something confined to a museum.
  • Moulin de la GaletteMoulin de la Galette is the historic Montmartre windmill and restaurant site linked to the old dance hall painted by Renoir and other artists. It makes the hill's mill, restaurant, and art-history layers clear in one place.
