Description

Discover the original Montmartre walking tour, trusted by over 5,000 travelers, and explore the artistic soul of Paris in a small group led by a passionate local expert. Start your tour at Place Saint-Pierre, right beneath the Sacré-Cœur basilica. As you take in the panoramic views over Paris, your guide will share the first stories of Montmartre’s rich past. From there, walk to the romantic Wall of Love, where 311 ways to say “I love you” are hidden in dozens of languages. Winding through cobbled streets and peaceful alleys, you’ll stop at the legendary Bateau-Lavoir, birthplace of modern art, where Picasso, Modigliani, and other greats lived and painted. Learn how these artists shaped the identity of the neighborhood—and how Montmartre shaped them in return. Continue toward the historic Moulin de la Galette, once a real windmill and now an icon of impressionist painting. Then pass by the Maison Rose, one of Paris’s most photographed spots, before heading into lesser-known corners of the district, including vineyards, quiet courtyards, old cabarets, and hidden passageways. Your local expert will bring these places to life with stories of revolution, resistance, art, and eccentricity—from Van Gogh to Dalida, Aznavour to Dali. This is not just a tour of sights; it’s a deep dive into the spirit of Montmartre, as seen through the eyes of those who lived it. The experience ends at Place du Tertre, where artists still paint in the open air, just steps from the basilica. You’ll finish with tips for exploring the Sacré-Cœur on your own—perfectly timed and located for an easy visit inside after your tour
