Situated just behind the Sacré-Cœur Basilica is one of Paris’ quietest and most exclusive streets. A mystery to most who walk past its grand houses and gated communities; the secretive Avenue Junot is a luxury world unto itself in the heart of Montmartre.
Avenue Junot was created between 1910 and 1912 on the site of a former mill that had fallen into disrepute. The street would soon become home to many of Montmartre’s most famous residents as it emerged as an exclusive residence.
No 1: Was once the home to the Théâtre du Tertre, founded by writer Georges Charaire, and is today the independent, Théâtre Lepic.
No. 2: Used to house the studio of famed French painter and engraver Gen Paul
No. 11: Is a private hamlet, bordered by villas and former artist studios, where the Belgian painter Charles Kvapil once had a home.
No. 13: Is the former house of the poster artist Francisque Poulbot.
No. 15: Is the very modern home that was designed for Romanian poet and essayist Tristan Tzara by the Austrian architect Adolf Loos. It became a national monument in 1975.
No. 21: Is the location of the famous murder plot in Henri-Georges Clouzot’s The Murderer Lives at Number 21. However, in reality, number 21 doesn’t exist.
No. 23: Is home to the smallest hotel in Paris and one of the city’s most exclusive accommodations, the Hôtel Particular. Advertised as ‘Paris Hedonism’; it is set in a 19th century townhouse and regularly hosts the world’s A-list celebrities.
Also, at the corner of number 23 is the 69m street Villa Léandre; a picturesque road of Anglo-Saxon red brick houses and tourist hotspot.
