Place du Tertre

With the Place des Artistes being one of the most visited squares in all of Paris, it is no surprise that competition is fierce for a spot. Artists are allotted a small area of about 3 square feet, which must be shared between two artists on shift days. The only kind of art permitted in this square are paintings (mostly Parisian landscapes), portraits, caricatures, and silhouettes. Artists must apply through the city council in the 18th arrondissement, however they say the waiting list is about 10 years!
