Overview

Explore Montmartre on a private or small-group walking tour (max 15 guests) led by a knowledgeable, engaging local guide. Meeting at 5 Place Blanche, walk past the Moulin Rouge and learn how Montmartre evolved from a quiet Roman hilltop, once dotted with windmills, into Paris's bohemian heart, home to painters, writers, musicians, and actors. See Van Gogh's and Picasso's first homes in Paris, the colorful Wall of Love, Renoir's Moulin de la Galette, the mural at Place Marcel Aymé, Place Dalida, and the picturesque Maison Rose. Wind through the lively artists' square of Place du Tertre before finishing at the Sacré-Cœur basilica, with sweeping panoramic views over the rooftops of Paris. The tour runs about 2 hours, with free time afterward to visit the basilica or join our optional evening wine tasting. A relaxed pace throughout, with plenty of time for photos and questions.
