The highest place in Paris - Montmartre Hill, is located in the northern part of the city. The name Mont de Martyre - "Ridot of the Martyrs" - it got because of the many Christians who were executed as a result of defending their religion. The first bishop of Paris was also beheaded here in the 3rd century - St. Denny and his followers. At the beginning of the 20th century, the myrrh and the silence of this settlement attracted many writers, composers and artists.
