Family-Friendly Montmartre Guided Tour

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet outside the Anvers metro station in Paris. Ready for some family fun?

Before we begin the climb to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, we'll let the children blow off some steam at the Carrousel de Montmartre. Watch your children’s faces light up as they enjoy a magical ride before the real adventure begins.

Next to this park, located at the foot of the Sacré Coeur, is the Saint-Pierre Carrousel, where you'll have a ride included. After enjoying this vintage-style merry-go-round, we'll walk up Montmartre hill. There's also the possibility of taking the funicular, but please note that a ticket for this mode of transport is not included in the tour.

As we make our way up the hill, our guide will share fascinating and light-hearted stories about Montmartre's rich history, ensuring both kids and adults stay entertained. Once at the top of the hill, we'll make our way into the Sacré-Coeur Basilica to admire it in all its glory. Inside the basilica, we'll learn about its impressive Romanesque and Byzantine-inspired architecture in a fun and entertaining way. Next, we'll head to the Place du Tertre, where we'll admire the many paintings set up daily by talented local artists.

After exploring the square, we'll start working our way back down the hill, taking in the sights of Montmartre's charming vineyards, where wine is still produced, and its historic cabarets, including the famous Lapin Agile and Moulin de la Galette.

To make sure the kids stay in good spirits, we'll stop at a typical local park where they can have fun in the playground while you take a well-earned 5-minute break. Continuing on, we'll pass by places where iconic artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh once lived, bringing their fascinating stories to life. Then, we'll arrive in the Abbesses district, where we'll have the chance to see the famous "Wall of Love".

Lastly, we'll arrive at the Place des Abbesses and let the children enjoy another ride on the Carrousel des Abbesses.

After a total of 2 hours, the tour will come to an end at the foot of the hill, in front of the Moulin Rouge. Au revoir!
