The Rue Foyatier is a street on the Montmartre butte (" outlier"), in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Opened in 1867, it was given its current name in 1875, after the sculptor Denis Foyatier (1793–1863). [1] One of the most famous streets in Paris, it consists of flights of stairs giving access to the top of the hill, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and the other attractions of the upper-Montmartre neighborhood. The Montmartre funicular runs alongside it.
In popular culture
The stairs of Rue Foyatier figure prominently in the 2023 film John Wick: Chapter 4 and the 1974 film Celine and Julie Go Boating.
