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 Montmartre Walking Tour ends at the highest natural point in Paris, the summit of Montmartre. Here, we’ll pause to enjoy the views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Your guide will tell you all about this 19th-century church as you admire its striking architecture. If it’s open, you’re welcome to continue inside and explore on your own. Admission is free.
At the end of our Montmartre tour in Paris, you’ll understand why locals and visitors are captivated by this corner of the city. It’s truly enchanting.

Montmartre tour reviews
This tour exceeded our expectations. Audrey is easy going, polite and very knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm for French history and cultural heritage is infectious. Not only do you get to know about Montmartre and the Basilique du Sacré Coeur, but she delves deep in the less touristy details that you rarely can be aware of otherwise. Highly recommended!

Our Montmartre Walking Tour is about 2 miles of walking uphill at a leisurely pace. There may be short flights of stairs throughout the tour, both up and down. If mobility is an issue, please inquire about a private tour.
Is there food and drink available for purchase during the tour?
Montmartre is a great foodie neighborhood. About halfway through the tour, there’s a short break when you can purchase food or drinks, and when the tour ends, you will be near other cafes and vendors if you want to try something fresh.

No, the tour ends in front of the basilica. It’s free of charge to enter when open, and your guide will share tips on what to see during your self-guided visit.
