Montmartre Hill is the highest hill in Paris, the capital of France, at 130 meters above sea level. Originally the name of the commune that included the hill, part of which was annexed to Paris in 1860 to form the 18th arrondissement of Paris on the right bank of the Seine River.
Montmartre Hill was for a long time a village independent of Paris, with vineyards and windmills as its symbols. There was also a time when a large convent was built on the hill.
From the mid-19th to the early 20th century, Montmartre became a decadent entertainment district, with cabarets such as Moulin Rouge and Le Chat Noir, where famous singers and performers took the stage.
Montmartre was also known as a gathering place for artists: in the mid-19th century, artists such as Johann Jonquint and Camille Pissarro left the city after the Parisian Renaissance and settled in Montmartre, which still retained a picturesque rural landscape. Painters seeking inexpensive apartments, studios, and outdoor landscapes in which to sketch followed suit, and by the end of the 19th century, Montmartre was transformed into a center for artists that rivaled Montparnasse on the left bank of Paris.
