==History==
The Place du Tertre was the heart of the prestigious Benedictine Montmartre Abbey, established in 1133 by King [[Louis VI of France|Louis VI]]. Montmartre Abbey thrived through the centuries and until the [[French Revolution]] under the patronage of the [[Kings of France]]. The Place du Tertre was opened to the public in 1635 as Montmartre village central square. From the end of the 18th century until [[World War I]], the whole Montmartre Bohème could be seen there: painters, songwriters and poets.<ref name=ParisDigest>{{Cite web |url=https://www.parisdigest.com/paris/montmartre-place-du-tertre.htm |title=Place du Tertre, Montmartre square |year=2018 |publisher=Paris Digest |access-date=2018-08-10 }}</ref>

With its many artists setting up their easels each day for the [[tourist]]s, the Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was the mecca of modern art.
