What's in our tour?
This Montmartre walking tour takes you to the nooks and crannies of the most bohemian, artistic district of Paris, the center of good-living in Paris and once the home and the artistic muse to Renoir, Picasso, Edith Piaf and others.
We start at Moulin Rouge, and slowly climb our way through back alleys and secluded gardens all the way to Sacre Coeur cathedral.
We explore the eccentric lifestyles of current and former residents, discover why the locals are so proud of their peculiar vineyard, and enjoy the romance of Montmartre.
We end with the best views of the Montmartre Sacre Coeur, with Paris at our feet.
In order to see more on this tour, we do not spend time going inside each building.
