7. Place Émile Goudeau and the Bateau Lavoir

Place Émile Goudeau is a quiet square with a lot of history. It’s home to the Bateau Lavoir, a famous art studio where Picasso, Modigliani, and other notable artists lived and worked in the early 1900s. This building played a key role in the birth of Cubism.
