Cité Montmartre-aux-artistes, Art Deco artist residence in 18th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Cité Montmartre-aux-artistes at 189 rue Ordener is a 1930s complex of three parallel buildings by architects Adolphe Thiers and Henry Trésal, holding 180 duplex studio apartments. Its red-brick Art Deco street facade has three arched portals of ironwork and stained glass, and a raised brick frieze reading "Montmartre aux artistes" between the first two glazed levels. Behind, white walls and walkways face inner courtyards.

Built in 1932, it was created to provide housing for artists displaced from Montmartre as real estate development transformed the neighborhood. The project emerged as a direct response to the loss of affordable studio space in the area.

The residence continues to house painters, musicians, actors, and writers in its dedicated studio spaces today. These creative residents shape daily life here through their artistic work and maintain a thriving community of practitioners.

Access to the courtyards and studios is primarily available during special events such as Heritage Days. Visitors should check in advance about opening times and access conditions, as the site is otherwise private residential space.

The filmmaker Romain Goupil grew up in the cité, where his grandfather, a singer, and his grandmother, the actress Lita Recio, lived from the start. The complex appears in at least one shot of each of his films, and in several shots of Albert Lamorisse's Le Ballon rouge, on which Goupil's father worked as camera operator.
