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.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of the four administrative quarters of the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France, located around the church of the former Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
