The Montmartre Abbey Thrived for Centuries<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Montmartre Abbey became a well known point of religious presence atop the Montmartre hill in what is now the 18th arrondissement. A stark contrast in a village that would someday represent the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-parisian-artists-of-the-lost-generation\/\">artist\u2019s<\/a> hub of the city of Â鶹APP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many people are astounded to learn that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/10-reasons-to-visit-the-basilica-of-sacre-coeur\/\">Sacre Coeur<\/a> Church\u2019s construction was only completed in 1914. Most assume it was part of Montmartre since back in the Abbey days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s presence on top of the hill in the now absence of the Abbey is an apt one. A reminder of how this village began before any artists even thought to wander in.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18982\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18982\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/montmartre_abbey_in_1626.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/montmartre_abbey_in_1626.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/montmartre_abbey_in_1626-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/montmartre_abbey_in_1626-768x547.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montmartre Abbey in 1626 &#8211; by Franzy89 &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Montmartre_abbey_in_1626.jpg\"> Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">3. The Place du Tertre was a Recreational Ground for the Abbey Residents <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even the monks and religious folk dwelling in the Montmartre Abbey needed an outdoor area in which to relax from time to time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That is what the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/10-things-to-see-at-la-place-du-tertre\/\"> Place du Tertre<\/a> square gave the Abbey members. It was a space where gatherings, prayer and meetings could take place in the Â鶹APPian outdoors. There is speculation that townsfolk were invited to the square from time to time though this is difficult to prove.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">4. The Land Surrounding the Place du Tertre was Completely Barren<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today Montmartre is so built up and suburban that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s3\">free guided walking tour<\/span><\/a>s can merely make their way between the winding streets to get from one side of the hill to to other. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-the-french-revolution\/\">Revolution<\/a>, much of Montmartre hillside was nothing but barren land.

It was Opened to the Public in 1635 and Named Montmartre Village Central Square<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As the years went by, Montmartre expanded and became a sought after residential area for people in Â鶹APP. A decision was made in 1635 that the square no longer be solely reserved for the Abbey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It was renamed Montmartre Village Central Square and opened to the public. For the first time in history the people of Montmartre could come and go in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-ten-plazas-in-paris\/\">square<\/a> as they pleased. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">6. At this Time Much Development was Occurring Around the Square <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The opening of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-ten-plazas-in-paris\/\">public square<\/a> only furthered the appeal of moving to the village of Montmartre. This called for more development and infrastructure to find its was onto the hill as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Land started to become scarce; everyone wanted a piece of this up and coming part of town. Buildings began to pop up all over the village and would eventually enclose the public square all together. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is why the &#8220;modern&#8221; buildings around the square would never suggest to an onlooker that it had been there since 1133.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18986\" style=\"width: 759px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18986\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/eglise-saint-pierre-de-montmartre_and_ruins_of_the_abbey_1820.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"749\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/eglise-saint-pierre-de-montmartre_and_ruins_of_the_abbey_1820.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/eglise-saint-pierre-de-montmartre_and_ruins_of_the_abbey_1820-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Construction of the Saint-Pierre Church next to the Abbey in Montmartre &#8211; by Jacques Auguste R\u00e9gnier &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Eglise-Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre_and_ruins_of_the_abbey_1820.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">7.
