Locals are complaining that the surge in visitors has made daily life increasingly difficult, with many businesses now catering solely to tourists and residential homes being converted into short-term rentals. The district’s artistic charm and village-like atmosphere are being eroded, according to longtime residents, who fear that Montmartre is losing its soul. Sitting on a hill with views over the city, Montmartre is well known for its artistic history and as a place once frequented by famous artists like Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec. With its cobblestone streets, the famous Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and panoramic views of Paris, it remains one of the city’s top tourist destinations.
