Bust of Dalida

Montmartre pays tribute to the famous singer Dalida, with a statue of her by sculptor Alain Aslan, located here, in a square named after her. You see, this was her favorite neighborhood when she first came to France. We're actually just a stone's throw from her former house, at 11 bis Rue d'Orchamps. You can go check it out! She lived there for 25 years. Now, if you want to pay your respects, head to the nearby Montmartre Cemetery. Her flower-filled grave is not far from the final resting places of other famous figures like Émile Zola, a leading naturalist author; Stendhal, known for The Red and the Black; and, more recently, Michel Berger and France Gall, icons of French music.
