Highlights

Moulin Rouge - The cabaret Moulin Rouge stands as the quintessential emblem of bohemian Montmartre. Toulouse-Lautrec created many of his artworks here, with both dancers and patrons posing for him. Numerous renowned pieces by him capture the essence of Montmartre’s cabarets.
Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre - Sacre Coeur is a globally recognized symbol of Montmartre. Its dazzling white facade offers a breathtaking view, with all of Paris sprawling beneath it (and you).
Place du Tertre - Often called Artists’ Square, Place du Tertre is where local artists sell their creations or add the finishing touches to their paintings. You can also get your portrait or caricature drawn here, if you’re brave enough!
Le Clos Montmartre - Montmartre’s residents take pride in their own vineyards. Though the plot is small, it is incredibly picturesque. It’s a hidden gem that’s well worth finding, offering a stunning view with vines in the foreground and the white Sacré Coeur church in the background.
Chevalier de La Barre - Discover why many locals harbor a dislike for their iconic Sacré Coeur here.
Dalida Statue - Dalida, a French pop singer and true pop icon, remains immensely popular. Her bust is a must-see, and the stories surrounding it are unbelievable!
La Petite Maison Rose de Montmartre (Since 1920) - While Parisian houses typically reflect the color of their building materials, Montmartre boasts a pink house with a wild history involving Picasso, Renoir, Utrillo, and possibly Manet and Degas.
Le Bateau-Lavoir - This art studio is another significant artistic landmark in Montmartre. Bateau-Lavoir is where Picasso truly became Picasso.
Rue Lepic - Van Gogh moved here from Holland as a young man to visit his brother. It was on Rue Lepic that Van Gogh discovered his passion for capturing sunlight in his art, making it a major landmark for art enthusiasts.
Rue Lepic - This windmill, painted by Renoir in 1876, catapulted him to fame—or rather, infamy—marking a pivotal moment in art history.
Musee de Montmartre - A must-see in Montmartre, this ancient, untouched farmhouse is picturesque. It once served as Renoir’s home while he painted his famous “Bal du moulin de la galette” next door, now a highlight of the Orsay museum.
