The celebrity hideaway, Hôtel Particular.

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.
