Come discover why Montmartre has inspired artists and dreamers for centuries on this immersive two-hour walking tour. As you walk, your guide will share about the history, food, culture, and art of this vibrant neighborhood where famous painters like Van Gogh once lived and worked.
We’ll begin at the Moulin Rouge, home of the can-can and the one-time haunt of artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Climb the winding streets and visit sites along the way: the Cafe des 2 Moulins filmed for “Amélie,” the ancient Rue des Abbesses, the last two windmills in Paris. You’ll even see the city’s only vineyard.
Our tour ends at the highest natural point in Paris, the summit of Montmartre. Here, we’ll pause to enjoy the views before heading into the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. If the basilica happens to be closed, your guide will tell you more about this 19th-century church as you admire its striking architecture.
At the end of our Montmartre Walking Tour, you’ll understand why locals and visitors are captivated by this corner of Paris. It’s truly enchanting.
