Montmartre was once a village on the outskirts of Paris, attracting the avant-garde art community by its splendid views and cheap rents. Artists ranging from Impressionists like Renoir, Post-Impressionists like Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh, and modernists like Picasso and Modigiliani all left their mark on a quartier that is still considered the center of a thriving artistic community. Small cabarets like the Lapin Agile, located next to the vineyard, as well as major nightclubs like the Moulin Rouge are just blocks from the apartment.
The apartment rents for $1195/week for two people, and $1495/week for for three to four people.
