A mythical district made famous in the Roaring Twenties...

 

In between the two World Wars, Montparnasse was popular with famous writers and artists such as Cocteau, Brassaï, Man Ray, Modigliani, Hemingway, Miller and Fitzgerald who regularly frequented the cafes, brasseries and cabarets in the area.
