Montmartre, located in the north of Paris, is a place full of legends and a world-famous art mecca.

This is the youngest arrondissement of Paris and the commanding height of the whole city!

Standing on the platform of the Sacré-Coeur at the top of the hill of Montmartre, you can see the whole of Paris and the meandering and quietly flowing Seine!

In the mid-to-late 19th century, due to the low rent and the proximity of Paris, many cash-strapped artists flocked to Montmartre to paint and discuss art!

Gauguin, Rousseau, Van Gogh, Renoir, Braque, Picasso, Dalí and other famous artists have painted for a living on the streets here, suffering and waiting for the day of their emergence!

It was also on this high ground that the heroic soldiers of the Paris Commune sacrificed their lives for their ideals and shed their last drop of blood, which gave rise to the Sacré-Coeur Church!

In Montmartre, an inconspicuous chair in a corner of a café on the side of the street may be where great writers such as Hugo and Hemingway once sit!

They sit there pondering, meditating, or pondering words, or conceiving their next work, or examining human nature and the world!

Today, it has become a place where painters and artists gather, full of artistic atmosphere, and has become an artistic mecca in the hearts of countless literary and artistic youths, including countless famous tourists!

Of course, rents in Montmartre are no longer cheap, they are as high as they are in the whole of Paris!

The artists who are qualified to live here for a long time are no longer low-level artists who have eaten the last meal but have not eaten the next meal, such as Van Gogh, who was unknown when he was alive and became a master of art after his death!

Now Montmartre is inhabited by a large number of middle-class artists, that is, the kind of artists who combine art and commerce well, and there are very few low-level artists!

Most of the low-level artists have been driven further afield, but they still often come to Montmartre to pursue their artistic ideals, even if they are illusory!

Whenever the weather is fine, Montmartre is always full of tourists, and the scenery and characters in and out of the painting are always as beautiful and moving.

Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and his party came to the heights of Montmartre, walked into the square of the hill with a smile, and appeared in the eyes of everyone in the square.

The Place du Tertre, located in the heart of the Montmartre district, next to the Saint-Pierre Church and the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, was a meeting place for people back in the 19th century!

Now the Place du Tertre is one of the most artistic squares in Montmartre, where many artists and painters gather, as well as countless tourists from all over the world!

For Parisians, it's still early at 10 o'clock, and many people haven't even gotten out of bed yet, still immersed in sweet dreams, in order to recover the energy that was exhausted by the revelry last night!

But at this time, the Montmartre plateau is already full of people and tourists.

Some painters who were living in poverty found a good place in the square early to set up a stall and began to solicit business, selling their works and painting for tourists, in order to earn a living and continue to struggle for the elusive artistic ideals.

After all, not everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and not everyone is as lazy as the French, who can sleep until three o'clock in the morning before starting a day's work and life!

Especially for those from all over the world, instead of suffering from jet lag in the hotel, it is better to come out early and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city!

Unexpectedly, the arrival of Ye Tian and his party immediately set off a commotion in Xiaoqiu Square, everyone looked at them, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and even a little frightened!

"I'm going! Steven, what's wrong with this? It seems that this crazy bastard has made up his mind to sweep all the antique art markets in Paris, and I don't know who will be unlucky today!"

"If it's just a sweep of antique artworks, it doesn't have much to do with you and me, and bad luck won't befall us, maybe we can see a wonderful show."

I'm even more worried about whether Steven, the bastard, and his sturdy men, will fight some idiots here, or even fight in the streets, and then it's a big problem!

See? The big men scattered around Steven, each wearing a jacket and carrying a backpack, were extremely vigilant, and I bet those bastards were absolutely armed!"

In the midst of the discussion, the vendors selling antique artworks in Xiaoqiu Square were each secretly praying, praying that they would not become the target of Ye Tian's looting!

But more tourists, street vendors, and shopkeepers who set up shop in the square hope that the day will be safe and that there will be no accidents or gunshots!

Ye Tian turned a blind eye to the reactions of the people around them, and didn't pay attention to them at all, still strolling forward with a smile and a smile, enjoying the scenery on the hill square!

During the journey, Ye Tian admired the surrounding scenery while introducing the history of the Hill Square, of course, the part related to art.

"Although the area of the Place du Tertre is small, it has left the footprints of many art masters, such as Gauguin, Renoir, Rousseau, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dalí and others, who all painted here for a living before becoming famous.

It was on Place du Hontre that Renoir created The Ball at the Mill de la Gallette, one of the masterpieces of Impressionism, which is now the crown jewel of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

Van Gogh painted a total of 11 "Sunflowers" in his lifetime, the first of which was created in the Place des Tertres, but unfortunately, it was not until his death that his artistic achievements were truly recognized by the world.

In 1907, Picasso painted an oil painting for visitors here, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", which is considered to be an epoch-making work and Picasso's first step towards cubism.

This was not only Picasso's personal artistic breakthrough, but also a breakthrough in the history of Western modern art, which marked the birth of Cubism, and "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is now in the collection of MOMA in New York.

Picasso once recalled that when he was at his worst, it was the inclusive, atmospheric and elegant Place du Hondes that took him in and gave him bread, confidence and strength, without which he would not have succeeded.

Today, Place du Tertre has become an art mecca, gathering many painters and artists from all over the world, including the next Van Gogh and the next Picasso!"

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived in the center of Xiaoqiu Square.

It is a boxy street garden with broken brick flooring, about the size of five or six basketball courts, and a number of trees of various sizes are planted in it.

Under the shade of greenery, some painters have set up their easels and paint as if no one was around, while others introduce and sell their works to tourists.

In addition, there are some stalls selling antique art, as well as stalls selling tourist souvenirs and various crafts.

An open-air plaza like this is naturally indispensable for food stalls, such as selling hot dogs, chicken and chips, and drinks.

On the ground floor of the buildings surrounding the square, there are many restaurants, cafes, tourist souvenir shops, as well as essential galleries and antique shops!

Tourists who come here to visit, or stand behind a painter who is painting, quietly admire, witness the birth of a painting, that may be a masterpiece!

Others wander from one stall to another, and when they see a painting they like, they may generously donate to it and take it back to their own homes to decorate their lives!

Some of them are directly involved in the artist's creation, transforming into models, sitting on chairs in an elegant posture, and letting the painter paint for themselves and record the face of the moment!

Of course, there are also many people who are not very interested in art.

They are also excited to stroll around the square, take pictures, taste food, or walk between the stalls, looking for items that make them happy!

Walking into the center of the square, Ye Tian and them came behind a painter who was painting, admiring the painting that was about to be completed on the drawing board and the process of the painter's creation, which was also a kind of beauty!

After standing still for a while, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from Ye Tian's ears.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, come and see my paintings, there may be art you need"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look to the right.
