Le Bateau-Lavoir, Artists' residence in Montmartre, Paris, France.

The wooden building at 13 Rue Ravignan contains twenty small workshops spread across multiple floors with narrow corridors and steep staircases.

The structure started as a piano factory in 1889 before becoming home to numerous artists, including Pablo Picasso from 1904 to 1909.

Pablo Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907 within his studio at Le Bateau-Lavoir, marking the beginning of modern art.

The reconstructed building remains an active artists' residence, with public access limited to special events such as European Heritage Days.

Max Jacob named the building Le Bateau-Lavoir because its structure resembled the Seine River washing boats that moved during storms.
