Montmartre

Montmartre is the tallest hill in Paris located in the north of the city. Extensively mined for gypsum the warren of quarries and tunnels lies beneath the surface.

Around 1895, not one but two spacecraft arrived within the hill belonging to the vampire and Varlos respectively. (TDL: The Vampire of Paris)

Beyond the spate of people having time stolen from them for a while it was better known worldwide as a place of new and ground breaking art from artists which include Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
