	Paris Montmartre - le Sacré-coeur
		Montmartre y a remballé depuis longtemps sa bohème et sa gouaille pour s'en aller nouer ailleurs ses liens farfelus et bonhommes : son tissu social s'est replié dans ses ruelles, enroulées en escargot autour du tertre.
		A l'angle Orsel-Steinkerque, 20 mètres à gauche, Montmartre sourit: cette rue-là, de ce côté-là, n'a pas cédé son quotidien à l'artifice.Place Charles-Dullin, à l'ombre des tilleuls, les jeunes techniciens du théâtre de l'Atelier s'esclaffent en déchargeant les décors de la nouvelle pièce.
		A droite, rue des Trois-Frères (percée sur des terrains appartenant aux trois frères Dufour), un raidillon sournois stoppe l'élan du citadin: Montmartre se mérite.

	Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre
		Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), the quintessential chronicler of the Parisian district of Montmartre, created some of the most memorable images of the exciting new culture of late-19th-century France—a culture that was worlds apart from the artist’s aristocratic upbringing in provincial France.
		Montmartre’s dance halls, cabarets, café-concerts, brothels, and circuses created a racy, uncensored atmosphere that attracted working-class residents of the district, as well as thrill-seeking bourgeois patrons from central Paris and beyond.
		For these artists, the vibrant culture of Montmartre, with its unbridled energy, tawdry behavior, garish colors, and provocative celebrities, was both a way to live and a subject to depict.
