Paris has an impressive art scene that is accessible throughout the city, and the cobbled streets of Montmartre are bustling with artists painting breathtaking views, talented street artists and surprising sculptures.

Musée de Montmartre
There’s no better way to discover the secrets of this district than by visiting Montmartre’s very own museum. It stands atop the hill of Montmartre and 14 famous personalities have lived within its walls, from Renoir and Valadon to Dufy and Poulbot. Delve into the glorious history of this bohemian corner through original works by Utrillo, Toulouse-Lautrec and Willette, and enjoy an authentically rustic ambiance.

A trip to Montmartre’s Museum of Romance is the perfect thing to do in the city of love. Back in the early 1830s Dutch painter Ary Scheffer transformed his home, Hôtel Scheffer-Renan, into a busy salon. It was frequented by a range of artists like George Sand, Frédéric Chopin, Eugène Delacroix and Franz Liszt, which explains why the walls of the museum are adorned with their art. As well as the permanent works on show, the museum organises a host of temporary exhibitions, live-music events, book readings and activities for kids. Make sure to visit before October, when the delightful tearoom in the garden’s greenhouse is open.
