Montmartre - If there were just one image

Sylvain, 44

I’d like a photograph of Paris in the same style as Robert Doisneau’s *The Lovers of Paris*. I love old Paris and black-and-white photographs.

I really love Montmartre. I’d love to see what the Montmartre neighborhood was like in the 1910s: the vineyards, the old streets, the stairways.

I’m a photographer, butI’d liketo see your perspective, which will be different from mine. I’d prefer a recent photo taken by you.

Now this neighborhood has become touristy, whereas before you could always find a little spot to sit on the steps and spend the evening without spending a dime.I’m not from Paris, but it reminds me of hanging out with friends on a terrace, those evenings when we’d go out to chat—good times.
