“A noisy square, wouldn’t you say?” Right here in front of you lies Place Jean Baptiste Clement. Place Jean Baptiste Clement is nestled in the heart of Montmartre. This charming square holds a hidden history. It was once home to the first water tower in Montmartre, la fontaine du Château d’eau de Montmartre. You see, getting water up to this hilltop village was a real challenge in the 19th century. The water tower, built in 1835, was a lifeline for the residents of Montmartre. Today, only a quiet octagonal structure remains. It’s a silent testament to the challenges and ingenuity of the past. Place Jean Baptiste Clement, named after the famous French songwriter, is a testament to the enduring spirit of Montmartre, a place where history and artistry intertwine.
