From the early 19th century, perched on top of a hill, Montmartre was the up and coming trendy area. All of Paris was attracted by its picturesque setting, windmills and Saturday night dances. The famous Moulin de la Galette has been turning heads and legs of many generations of Paris. The Romano-Byzantine basilica which was set on top of the hill in 1914 marks the beginning of the slow decline of the nightlife of Montmartre. Fortunately before leaving for Montparnasse, Renoir, Van Gogh, Utrillo, Picasso and many others recorded the most beautiful images of this gone period.
