Montmartre Walking Tour

Montmartre Walking Tour

This 1.5-hour walking tour takes you through Paris's artistic quarter, starting at the legendary Moulin Rouge and winding through cobblestone streets to the summit of Montmartre.

You'll visit the famous Café des 2 Moulins from the film 'Amélie', discover Paris's only vineyard at Clos Montmartre, and explore the artist squares of Place du Tertre. The tour culminates at Sacré-Cœur Basilica, where you'll enjoy panoramic views over the city and, when open, step inside to see the stunning interior mosaics.

Along the way, you'll spot historic windmills, hidden squares and vibrant street art whilst learning about Montmartre's role as the creative heart of Paris. The relaxed pace allows plenty of time for photos and questions about local recommendations.
