Montmartre is a district of Paris where the adventure began for many artists, poets and songwriters whose names still resonate on this planet. Here are just a few of the names that make you dream: Suzanne Valadon, Van Gogh, Pissaro, Degas, Renoir, Picasso, Modigliani, Severini, Alphonse Allais, Emile Goudeau and the Hydropathes, Aristide Bruant, and so on. Places too: Le Chat Noir, Le Lapin Agile, Le Cirque Medrano, Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette. And there's one place where all this atmosphere is particularly palpable, and that's the Musée de Montmartre. It's housed in two buildings where artists used to work, as we'll hear today. It's a green, cool setting overlooking Paris.
In today's episode, we meet up with Anne-Laure, with whom I went to the Musée de Montmartre on a beautiful summer's morning. In the notes that accompany this podcast, you'll find cultural references, as well as photos to complete the trip.
