Le Bateau-Lavoir was a squalid block of buildings in
Montmartre,
Paris situated at 13 Rue Ravignan (Place Emile Goudeau). The place is famous because at the turn of the
20th century a group of outstanding
artists lived and rented artistic studios there. First artists started to settle at the Bateau-Lavoir in the
1890s but after
1914 they started to move elsewhere (mainly
Montparnasse).
