 The streets behind the Avenue and in the neighbourhood surrounding are filled with Haussmanian buildings of large standing that host some residence, but are largely dominated by offices.Culminating at 130 metres, Montmartre is Paris's highest hill and second most-visited tourist area.Formerly a town of wine growers and gypsum miners centred on a 15th-century monastery, it began from the late 20th century (around the time of the construction of its Sacré-Cœur Basilica in 1919) to become a tourist attraction.
