This once-charming square, now generally teems with crowds of tourists and hordes of street artists clamoring to do your portrait. The ubiquitous souvenir shops were once home to artists who for decades called this tumbling square (tertre means "hillock") home. For an easy descent from the top of the hill, walk to the back of the square and find Rue du Calvaire, which is actually a picturesque staircase.
