Monmartre starts from the artist... by Lilasel
The hill of Monmartre has been associated with artists for 200 years. Theodore Gericault and Camille Corot came here at the start of the 19th century, and in the 20th century Maurice Utrillo immortalized the streets in his works. Today it's full of portraitists (Place du Tertre)The talk with them takes off every euro minute by minute. Me and my russian friend Youlia received great portraits almost for free because this chatty artist was sure I'm french! When he discovered the truth he was so surprised that gave me his works with a very reasonable price... :-) Sometimes it is useful to speak good french without an accent :-)
