Set in the 18th arrondissement, the charming hilltop Montmartre district (also known as "La Butte") is a former artists' village once inhabited by Picasso and Dalí, and home to the domed Sacré-Cœur basilica. There are sweeping views of the city from its steep, winding streets, while the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret below draws tourists and nightclubbers. Retro-cool bars and eateries dot the edgy Lamarck area.
The busy Montparnasse area is known for chain stores, crêperies, and historic bistros once frequented by authors like Hemingway. Jean-Paul Sartre is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery, while the Catacombs of Paris are ossuaries set in former mining tunnels. Museums include the sculpture-filled Musée Bourdelle and WWII-themed Musée du Général Leclerc. Tour Montparnasse is a skyscraper with 360-degree views over Paris.

Grinders, rag-men, China menders, mattress carders are among those small trades of yesteryear that have disappeared from our sight and fallen into oblivion. But way back in 1931 they were far from extinct and still populated and livened up the streets from dawn till dusk. The tenderness of Pierre Chenal look at them is only accentuated by the nostalgia experienced by today's viewer.
