ANOTHER WALK THROUGH MONTMARTRE

So I keep posting pictures from walks through Montmartre, but this time some friends and I took a walking tour (through Paris Walks) about Montmartre during the Belle Epoque, and the artists who were living and working there at the time.  Beautiful weather, and great tour guide.  Sorry if the pictures look a lot like what you've already seen, but couldn't miss the photo op.

Here's the real Moulin de la Galette, a working windmill that became a dancehall nights. (this one)

Where Picasso had his studio, in which he painted his portrait of Gertrude Stein, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (hello cubism), and others.  

Your typical old frenchman: smoking and playing the accordion outside a café.  

A weirdly overcast moment on our tour, but shows the windy streets as you go up the Butte.  

Some cool street art.

A statue of Saint Denis, who (after climbing up my street- Rue des Martyrs!) was beheaded by the Romans.  According to legend, though, it didn't stop there.  He picked up his head and ran off down the hill until collapsing at the place he wanted to be laid to rest (a little over 6km away).  That place is now the Cathedral de Saint Denis, where all the french kings were buried.  Alternately, some say that to save time he rolled his head down the hill and ran after it.   Either way, quite an athlete.  

Dalida, another famous resident of Montmartre, who's having a really good hair day. Apparently very popular in the '70s, and a gay icon.  Tourists come to touch her boobs and take pictures (hence the shininess).
