Rue Cortot, Historical street in Montmartre, Paris, France

Rue Cortot extends for 125 meters, connecting Rue du Mont-Cenis to Rue des Saules in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

Originally called Petite rue Saint-Jean until 1864, the street was renamed after French sculptor Jean-Pierre Cortot, who lived from 1787 to 1843.

The Montmartre Museum at numbers 12-14 preserves the artistic heritage of the neighborhood through exhibitions and historical collections.
