Montmartre: A Glimpse into the Past - The House of King Henri IV (circa 1905) Step back in time with this evocative image of the Montmartre house said to have once belonged to King Henri IV of France. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, transports us to a bygone era in the heart of Paris. Henri IV, also known as Henri le Grand, reigned from 1589 to 1610, a period marked by relative peace and prosperity for France. The king, who was born in the nearby Château de Pau in Gascony, had a deep affection for Paris and Montmartre, where he spent much of his youth. The Montmartre district, with its bohemian atmosphere and picturesque streets, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and writers. In this image, we see a charming house nestled among the winding lanes, its red-tiled roof and ornate balconies bearing witness to a rich history. Children play in the foreground, their laughter echoing through the narrow alleyway, adding a sense of life and vitality to the scene. The warm, golden light filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the cobblestones. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of this historic Montmartre house. Whether it's the tales of King Henri IV's time in the district or the everyday lives of the children at play, the image captures the essence of Parisian life in the early 1900s.
