Montparnasse was a community where creativity was embraced with all its oddities, each new arrival welcomed unreservedly by its existing members. When Tsuguharu Foujita arrived from Japan in 1913 not knowing a soul, he met Soutine, Modigliani, Pascin and Leger virtually the same night and within a week became friends with Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. In 1914, when the English painter Nina Hamnett arrived in Montparnasse, on her first evening the smiling man at the next table at La Rotonde graciously introduced himself as "Modigliani, painter and Jew". They became good friends, Hamnett later recounting how she once borrowed a jersey and corduroy trousers from Modigliani, then went to La Rotonde and danced in the street all night.

Montparnasse, located in the area of Mykonos known as Little Venice, originally opened as an art gallery in the late 1960's. Later it became a bar, attracting patrons with classical music and wonderful views of the sunsets. In 1995, Montparnasse took on a new face -- that of a Cabaret/Piano Bar. Merging with the already well-established Piano Bar, Montparnasse still hosts a wonderful sunset cocktail hour and houses the art work of local artists Luis Orozco and Dorlies Shapitz. However, in the later evening, Montparnasse/The Piano Bar [F]eatures live cabaret-style music 7 nights a week during the summer season. Vocal and musical talents from across Europe and the United States are featured at various times throughout the summer.
