Montmartre's Tourism Surge: A Parisian Neighborhood in Crisis

Residents in Montmartre, Paris, express concerns over the surge of tourists, fearing their quaint district may emulate overtourism scenarios akin to Barcelona and Venice.

Local groups call for immediate action, proposing measures to manage the influx, as iconic areas begin to resemble theme parks, with essential shops replaced by tourist stalls.

Rising housing costs threaten to displace residents, intensifying the call for tighter rental regulations while authorities brace for even more visitors in 2025.
