Description
We are in Montmartre, one of the highest hills (130m) and an old suburb of Paris. It is located in the northern part of the city, belongs to its 18th arrondissement and is one of its most famous areas.
The film opens with the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre, also referred to as the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and often simply Sacré-Coeur, a Roman Catholic church that is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is located at the top of the hill of Montmartre and is one of the landmarks of the city.
The filmmaker stands for a while at the church and then takes us on a tour of the Place du Tertre, a square that was named after its location at the top of the hill (Tertre means little hill) which is the highest point in Paris. The influx of artists, their lives and works, made it one of the main attractions of Paris and famous all over the world. The lens shows us painters exhibiting their art but also painting portraits of tourists or landscapes.
The film closes with a view of the area as well as close-ups shots of the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur.
