Curiosity sparked in their eyes as they decided to uncover the secrets hidden within this map. They followed its intricate lines and discovered it led them to the stunning Montmartre district, in the heart of the 18th arrondissement.

The fountain in the center of the square, called Place du Tertre, was dry, and the flowers that once bloomed were withered.

Tahar, the brave and resourceful one, inserted the key into the lock. With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, revealing a magical secret garden hidden within the basilica's walls. Wildflowers and butterflies danced in the air, and laughter filled their senses. In the center of the garden, they found a statue of Saint Denis, the patron saint of Paris. A tear-shaped gem was missing from its crown, and this gem held the key to reawakening the magic of Montmartre.
