The square features a bronze bust of Dalida and a small planted area with benches; it is frequently visited by fans and passersby exploring Montmartre’s streets. It sits amid narrow lanes, stairways and classic Montmartre houses that are popular for walking tours and photography.

The square was named in memory of Dalida, the French-Italian singer and actress, and has become a small, named urban landmark within Montmartre. Its installation and naming reflect Montmartre’s cultural history and connection to Parisian entertainers.

Place Dalida sits on the northern slopes of Montmartre in Paris, near Rue de l’Abreuvoir and within easy walking distance of the Sacré-Cœur basilica and other Montmartre attractions.

  • Statue and photo spot: A bronze bust of the singer Dalida occupies the square and makes it a frequent photo stop in Montmartre, close to pedestrian streets and viewpoint lanes.

Tips for Visiting Place Dalida #

  • Visit early morning to see the square empty and get unobstructed photos of the Dalida statue.
  • The tiny café terraces on the square are pleasant for people-watching; they can be expensive but are worth the view at dusk.
  • Do not expect large crowds-Place Dalida is a quiet corner of Montmartre, beloved for its association with the singer but not a major thoroughfare.
