Lamark-Caulaincourt – 4-room family apartment – Parking and cellar

Eugène-Carrière Street lies at the heart of the Grandes-Carrières district, in the western part of the 18th arrondissement. It offers an appealing balance between Montmartre’s village spirit and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere, while remaining slightly removed from the hill’s most touristy areas.

The street stretches for approximately 500 meters, from Rue Tourlaque to Rue Vauvenargues. It is named after the painter Eugène Carrière, and its history dates back to the former Chemin des Grandes-Carrières, which already appeared on 19th-century maps.

The district’s name comes from the former gypsum quarries that once occupied the slopes around Montmartre Hill. This gypsum was notably transformed into plaster, giving rise to the famous “plaster of Paris.” Today, this industrial past has completely disappeared from the landscape, but it helps give the neighborhood a distinctive historical identity.

In terms of atmosphere, this is a more residential and authentic Montmartre: buildings mainly constructed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, relatively quiet streets, small shops and restaurants, with Rue Damrémont, Rue Marcadet, Rue Caulaincourt and Montmartre Hill in the immediate vicinity. The area is also well served by public transport, notably at Lamarck–Caulaincourt and Guy Môquet.

This is therefore a neighborhood that particularly appeals to those seeking a Parisian address, Montmartre’s charm and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere, but with a quieter feel than the hill’s tourist heart.
