Paris - Musée du Vieux Montmartre

 
This little museum in Rue Cortot (No. 12) offers a nostalgic view of earlier days in Montmartre. It occupies a picturesque 17th century building which became the home of many artists who gained an international reputation. Auguste Renoir had his studio here in 1876, and he was followed later by Susanne Valadon and her son Maurice Utrillo, Emile Bernard, Maximilian Luce and Maurice Delcourt.
