Place du Tertre, nestled in the shadows of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, is the place where one can witness the spirit of bohemian Paris come to life. “Tertre" in French means a small hill or mound. So, "Place du Tertre" can be roughly translated to "Square of the Mound" or "Square of the Small Hill." It has been a haven for painters, writers, and creatives since the late 19th century. Time to explore the real Montmartre!
