From the beginning of the history of cinema to the present day, from Lubitsch to Jeunet, Montmartre has always been a favoured setting for films by French and foreign directors alike.

Exhibition catalogue, Montmartre, a Film Set, presented at the Musée de Montmartre, Paris (April 12, 2017 - January 14, 2018).

‘Montmartre: A Film Set’ evokes the various preferred locations for these films in Montmartre (the Moulin Rouge, Place Pigalle, Barbès, Sacré-Coeur, and so  on), its atypical scenes (the stairways, lanes, small houses, and lamp posts), and its residents (the artistes, dancers, ordinary people, cops, thugs, and  prostitutes).

The Paris of parties and pleasure, as well as that of crime and perdition, often represented by the districts of La Chapelle, Pigalle, and La Goutte d’Or, has been integral to the celebration of art and poetry on the Butte Montmartre.
