The most bohemian of Paris neighbourhoods Old Montmartne is known for its cobblestone streets, its village atmosphere, a big white church, and for the artists who found a home there more than a century ago. Up on a hill sits the former village of Montmartre, where narrow streets climb and bend their way up to Sacre Coeur, the white church visible from almost everywhere in Paris.
