This is exactly what occurred throughout the 18th century to form what is now known as Montparnasse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The village of Montparnasse is loaded in the 14th arrondissement of Â鶹APP. It is an eclectic suburb that is filled with much to see and do, including a wide variety of arts and iconic places to dine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is largely due to it once being the home of individuals such as Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. As I said, cheap rent usually brings the artists!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of its popularity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-restaurants-near-montparnasse\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Montparnasse<\/span><\/a> is largely touristic around most of the main attractions. Like most districts in Â鶹APP, however, there are many hidden gems to be found where you wont have to fight the crowds to enjoy the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14312\" style=\"width: 1060px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14312\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1440094391289-4d35a9039544-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montparnasse Tower in the distance &#8211; by J Ahrndt &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/dlfO8fqkjbA\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Montparnasse is no longer the affordable artists getaway it used to be; today it is much more upscale and a big contributor to the booming French economy. Artists now come here to sell work, not to make it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nevertheless it is still a fascinating neighborhood to explore by foot as there is so much to see. What follows are my top 10 things to see in Montparnasse should you ever find yourself in the Â鶹APPian south with some time to kill. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">1.<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">Les Catacombes in <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Montparnasse<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019ve not heard of the Catacombes it is probably best I start with this as it is <i>definitely<\/i> the most worthwhile thing to see in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-things-montparnasse\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Montparnasse<\/span><\/a>. The Catacombes are the tunnels that run underneath Â鶹APP and contain the remains of more than six million human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14313\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14313\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-the_catacombs_paris_france_005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-the_catacombs_paris_france_005.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-the_catacombs_paris_france_005-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-the_catacombs_paris_france_005-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Catacombes &#8211; by Riggwelter &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:The_catacombs_Â鶹APP_France_005.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1785 the city of Â鶹APP was experiencing issues around hygiene due to their largely overflowing burial sites. They began exhuming the remains and moved them into large tunnels that ran underneath the city instead. In 1810 these tunnels officially became known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/secrets-of-the-paris-catacombs\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Catacombes<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let me digress, I was very skeptical myself before visiting this historic vicinity. Terrified, is probably a better word. But I can conclude it is one of the most memorable (and bone chilling \u2014 mind the pun) experiences I\u2019ve had in this city and I 10\/10 recommend it to anyone passing through Montparnasse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Admission: \u20ac13 (45 minute tour)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Cimeti\u00e8re du Montparnasse\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since we\u2019re on the death train let\u2019s continue on the topic and explore another site worth seeing while visiting this neighborhood. The Cimeti\u00e8re du Montparnasse is the second largest in Â鶹APP after the very famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-pere-lachaise-cemetery\/\"><span class=\"s2\">P\u00e8re Lachaise<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I only wandered into this premises because I was told Samuel Beckett had been buried there in 1989. Beckett is my favorite existential writer and I found the thought of meandering graves in search of his quite alluring.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14314\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14314\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cimeti\u00e8re du Montparnasse\u00a0&#8211; by Myrabella &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cimetiere_Montparnasse_Â鶹APP_Genie_Daillion.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The cemetery is more peaceful than P\u00e8re Lachaise in my opinion. The trees hang low enough to kiss the tops of the grave stones and the sense of rest within the space is beautiful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I was pleased to recognize a few other names amongst the lot, including the legend Serge Gainsbourg and iconic photographer Man Ray. I challenge you to go see who else you can find amongst the cemetery residents of Montparnasse. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Walk Montparnasse<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like most neighborhoods in Â鶹APP, you\u2019ll get the most out of your time if you spend it exploring Montparnasse on foot. The district isn\u2019t overly large and you can cover quite a significant portion if you dedicate a day to the experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Get yourself over to Rue de la Ga\u00eet\u00e9 and start here. It is undoubtably the most lively street in Montparnasse and was once home to the lesser known cabarets and bars of the 18th and 19th century. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Follow this road toward Avenue du Maine where you\u2019ll be able to walk yourself fright into the Montparnasse artists colony.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14315\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14315\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/400px-theatre_de_la_gaite-montparnasse_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/400px-theatre_de_la_gaite-montparnasse_01.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/400px-theatre_de_la_gaite-montparnasse_01-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montparnasse Street Life &#8211; by Coyau &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Th\u00e9\u00e2tre_de_la_Ga\u00eet\u00e9-Montparnasse_01.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is a cobblestoned cul-de-sac covered in greenery where in back in 1900 thirty artist studios were built using a variety of materials salvaged from the explosions in Â鶹APP.

Most of these are the early silent black and white films and the foundation holds screenings where anyone can come to view them accompanied by a live pianist inside of the theatre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is only \u20ac6.50 to view a screening within the cinema. The experience of it all is transformative and awe inspiring. Seeing some of the earliest cinematic works to come out of neighborhoods just like Montparnasse is quite the privileged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These are not the kinds of films you\u2019ll ever be able to stream from anywhere your computer picks up WiFi. They are preserved, original works of art that were it not for foundations like the J\u00e9r\u00f4me Seydoux-Path\u00e9 would otherwise not be seen again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The price of admission is your contribution toward keeping these pieces of history alive. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">7. Caf\u00e9 Oz Rooftop in Montparnasse<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For something a little lighter in Montparnasse there is the ever so popular Cafe Oz Rooftop located right where the neighborhood meets the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/how-to-enjoy-the-river-seine\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Seine<\/span><\/a>. Being on the roof of the Cit\u00e9 de la Mode et du Design the cafe offers wonderful views of the nearby monuments in adjacent districts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is a hip and modern place to stop by for a beer or cocktail. The cafe has attempted to create an Australian inspired beach vibe on the terrace. When you pull your eyes from the panoramic view of Â鶹APP, it is <i>almost<\/i> believable that you\u2019re now on the Gold Coast instead of in the French capital. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My favorite thing about Cafe Oz is that it turns into a dance venue as the night begins to fall. The music varies depending on what night you attend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They also make a Thai Salad that is worth a visit alone. Entrance is always free so when you\u2019re in the mood for views of the city and river head over to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-rooftops-paris-ultimate-guide\/\"><span class=\"s2\">rooftop<\/span><\/a> in Montparnasse. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">8. The Fondation Cartier pour l\u2019Art Contemporain in Montparnasse<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the spirit of art and preservation that is so iconic to Montparnasse I bring you yet another foundation; The Fondation Cartier pour l\u2019Art Contemporain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Before getting into the function of the vicinity, it is something you\u2019ll likely want to see solely due to it being so, so very green!
