Montmartre Walking Tour
Discover the magic of Montmartre on this captivating two-hour walking tour, where history, art, and culture come alive. Once home to artists like Van Gogh, this charming neighborhood has inspired creativity for centuries. Begin at the I Love You Wall, a romantic art piece displaying “I Love You” in over 300 languages. Wander through Montmartre’s winding streets, passing landmarks like the Moulin de la Galette, painted by Renoir, the historic Rue des Abbesses, several unusual art pieces, the city’s only vineyard, and more. Atop Montmartre, enjoy breathtaking views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica while learning about its striking 19th-century architecture. If open, you’re welcome to explore the basilica on your own after the tour — it’s free to enter. From there, stroll around the basilica and head to Place du Tertre, a lively square filled with artists and cozy terraces. The tour ends at La Bonne Franquette, a historic restaurant once frequented by Van Gogh and Monet. Feel free to step inside and savor its traditional French cuisine.
