Rue du Calvaire, Historic stairs in Montmartre, Paris, France
The Rue du Calvaire stairs connect Rue Gabrielle to Place du Calvaire through a sequence of stone steps ascending the Montmartre hill.
The street received its name from a calvary monument erected in 1805 near the Saint-Pierre de Montmartre church at the summit of the hill.
The stairway forms part of the Vieux Montmartre district, where numerous artists have established their studios and galleries since the 19th century.
Access to the stairs is available from Abbesses Metro station on Line 12, with the climb offering multiple resting points along the ascent.
The stone steps provide photographers with different perspectives throughout the day as sunlight moves across the Montmartre neighborhood.
