However, the most popular area to visit for Van Gogh fans is Montmartre. This area has many reasonable hotels close to the tourist areas with views of what Van Gogh would have based his paintings on. One interesting thing to note is that the area used to be full of windmills, and the only two remaining are on the street where van Gogh lived.
