Getting started

What to expect

Montmartre

This hilltop Parisian neighborhood is famed for its artistic legacy and bohemian spirit, once home to creative legends like Picasso and Modigliani. Its cobblestone lanes and vibrant squares reveal stories of art, culture, and local life as you follow your expert English-speaking guide.

Features

• Place des Abbesses: Begin at this lively square, known for its Art Nouveau metro entrance by Hector Guimard, and set off on your guided walking tour of Montmartre.

• Wall of Love: Pause at this unique mural, where “I love you” is written in over 250 languages, and capture photos before continuing through the neighborhood.

• Le Bateau-Lavoir: Discover the former residence of Picasso and other artists, central to Montmartre’s creative history, as your guide shares background and anecdotes.

• Moulin de la Galette: See the historic windmill immortalized by Renoir and learn how it became a symbol of the area’s artistic past.

• Rue de l’Abreuvoir & La Maison Rose: Walk along this picturesque street and spot the iconic pink café, a classic Montmartre scene that reflects the district’s village feel.

• Sacré-Cœur Basilica: End your tour at this striking basilica, where you can visit the church interior or admire city views from the forecourt; if you select an option with dome tickets, you can climb to the dome for elevated views using your included access, or use an audio guide in English, Spanish, and French with a digital panoramic map to explore the basilica’s interior and exterior at your own pace.

• Food-focused options: On select variants, enjoy French wine, cheese, charcuterie, and macaron tastings at local shops, savor a croissant or pain au chocolat, or sit down to a three-course lunch or dinner in a French restaurant during or after your walk.

Wrapping up

If you select a dome ticket or audio guide option, continue independently inside Sacré-Cœur Basilica, using your dome access and multilingual audio guide with digital panoramic map to make the most of your visit. Food-focused variants add tastings or a three-course meal to your walking tour, giving you time to sample local flavors in addition to exploring Montmartre’s landmarks.
