Description

Take a tour through the narrow streets oozing with history in this most cultural and artistic of Paris' districts, one which artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh sought out for inspiration.

Montmartre Free Walking Tour

We'll meet near the historic Moulin Rouge and climb uphill towards the bourgeois-bohemian Parisian neighborhood, Montmartre. This famous district, found in the 18th arrondissement, has set the scene for various critically acclaimed films. As we continue to scale the hills of Montmartre, we'll seek out the Café des Deux Moulins (from the film Amélie), the House of Van Gogh, and the Moulin de la Galette, otherwise known as the last windmill of Paris.

Next up, is the second-oldest church in Paris, the Saint-Pierre Montmartre. This site, rich in history spanning all the way back to the 5th century AD, is one of two main churches in the neighborhood. From here, we'll move on to see "Les murs de je t'aime," or the Wall of Love. This 40 square meter (430 square foot) wall, created in 2000, features the phrase "I love you" written in over 200 languages.

From here, we'll move on to several classic points of interest, like Bateau Lavoir, the famous meeting place for great minds of the 20th century, Place Dalida, a plaza dedicated to famous French musician Dalida, and also the neighborhood's last surviving vineyard.

As we edge closer to the hill's summit, we'll pass by the Place du Tertre, the former heart of the prestigious Benedictine Montmartre Abbey. Nearby we'll also find the Lapin Agile, one of Montmartre's most famous cabarets.

Finally, our tour concludes at the famous Basilica Sacré Coeur, adorned with statues of French heroes Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX. This grand temple, located at Paris' highest point, provides breathtaking views of the city, rivaling the Eiffel Tower for the best panoramic view in Paris

Here, after 2 to 2 hours and 45 minutes of getting to know this famous Parisian neighborhood, we'll bring the tour to an end.

Great walking tour of Montmartre with Raj. He did a fantastic job of telling us about the area and he was able to be heard at all times. His English was terrific and his stories were informative and entertaining. Absolutely wonderful way to get to know the area. Would highly recommend!

An excellent tour of the historic Montmartre area with a guide (Angel ?) who was passionate about history and had much to share. Despite the rainy weather the tour was well worth the time and price (donation decided by each tour participant). The guide provided suggestions of what to do and where to go in Paris following the tour's completion. With more time in Paris I would not have hesitated to go on any of the other walking tours offered.
