This peaceful thoroughfare was opened in 1910 on the famous «maquis» of Montmartre, a piece of waste ground of ill repute where the windmills turned. Studios and pavilions are here today such as the Hameau des Artistes or the Villa Léandre (n° 25). A sculpture by Jean Marais evokes the author of Passe-muraille on the Place Marcel-Aymé.
