The fog generated by the trough gave the area an air of mystery, which is why this street inspired painters and poets alike. This is one of the oldest roads in Montmartre, the earliest reference we have to it is from the early 1300s. The name of the road comes from the old French word for “watering hole” or “water trough” since historically this is where the cart drivers would bring their horses or donkeys for a drink at the end of the day. Cart driving was an important but quite dangerous job in medieval Montmartre. The hill was steep and treacherous in parts, and few would want to make the journey on foot. After a day of journeying up and down the hill, this is where the cart drivers would bring their horses or donkeys for a drink. While the watering troughs are gone now, this road remains more or less the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Fairly few streets in Paris have been able to keep their cobblestones, owing to the Parisians' historic propensity to riot, pull up the stones, and use them as airborne weapons. In 1871 a revolution erupted in Paris starting in Montmartre, we call it The Paris Commune. It pitted the people of Paris against their own government installed at Versailles. If you've seen the musical Les Miserables or read the book, that's the revolution they mention. At the time the Prussians had Paris was under siege. The French government wanted to take some cannons that were stored in Montmartre to use against the Prussians. But the people of Montmartre did not trust their government to do the right thing by them. They rioted in order to keep the cannons. While the French fought against the French, the Prussians broke through the fortification wall and invaded Paris."

"Located in the 18th Arrondissement, this is where you can find the charming Maison Rose, the picturesque pink restaurant that you’ve probably spotted on your Instagram feed once or twice. Aside from that, you’ll find tree-lined cobblestone streets and a peak at the stunning Sacre Couer, Paris’ famous church on a hill. "
