Paris in the Fog


A view of Paris from Montmartre
November 2005

Montmartre is a hill which gives its name to the surrounding district, in the north of Paris. Montmartre is primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit and as a nightclub district. Many artists had studios or worked around the community of Montmartre such as Salvador Dalí, Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.
