The lively atmosphere at Place du Tertre includes bustling restaurant terraces and artists' easels. These artists share 140 spaces, with each pair of artists taking turns to work in a square meter area. However, the historical square of the village is a must-visit, as it is adorned with numerous professional drawers and cartoonists who would be delighted to spend some time with you.

These artists are highly skilled and have earned the privilege to rent their spaces. They must submit examples of their work to the town hall authorities for evaluation before they can begin. Due to the high demand, there is currently a waiting list of ten years.

Approximately 300 artists occupy their rented spaces at Place du Tertre. They arrive in the morning and work until dusk, setting up their easels and palettes to engage in their creative endeavors. The 140 spaces available are shared by two artists who take turns working on alternate days.

One of the talented artists at Place du Tertre can create a hand-drawn portrait in various styles, serving as a wonderful souvenir of your visit to Paris. The prices for these portraits range from 25 to 100 Euros or more. To avoid any unexpected surprises, it is recommended to agree upon the price before the artist begins their work.
