Montmartre, the Other Paris

Capitals in lowercase
By Anne Monjaret, Michela Niccolai
English

Overlooking Paris, Montmartre is one of the most famous Parisian districts. Since the annexation of their town in 1860 and the events of the Paris Commune, the Montmartre inhabitants maintain a singular relationship with the capital, distinguishing itself from Paris, playing with its limits to better absorb it. But in this double figure - both village and cultural capital - Montmartre embodies the part for the whole, representing the authentic Paris, and even its “heart”.
