Montmartre, Paris, France: Montmartre is a large hill in Paris's northern 18th arrondissement. Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit, and as a nightclub district. Archaeological excavations show that the heights of Montmartre were occupied from at least Gallo-Roman times. Texts from the 8th century cite the name of mons Mercori (Mount Mercury); a 9th-century text speaks of Mount Mars. Excavations in 1975 north of the Church of Saint-Pierre found coins from the 3rd century and the remains of a major wall. Wikipedia

Montmartre hosted a pretty raucous nightlife, centered around nightclubs like the Moulin Rouge, which opened in October 1889. The cabaret was the birthplace of the can-can, a high-kicking dance that was scandalous because it exposed what women were — or weren’t — wearing under their dresses. This is Georges Seurat’s depiction of it:

Jules Chéret and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec made the place famous with their exuberant posters advertising the venue’s shows. Here’s one of Chéret’s from 1889, showing dancers whose dresses leave little to the imagination:
