Additional Information

Explore the inspiration behind centuries of artists and dreamers in Montmartre on this captivating two-hour private stroll. Your guide will delve into the history, cuisine, culture, and art of this dynamic district, once home to renowned painters like Van Gogh.

Our journey commences at Moulin Rouge, the birthplace of the can-can and a favorite spot of artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Ascent the winding paths and stop by popular spots: the Cafe des 2 Moulins featured in ‘Amélie,’ old Rue des Abbesses, and the final two windmills in Paris. Gaze upon the city’s one and only vineyard too.

We culminate our tour at Paris’s highest natural peak, the apex of Montmartre. Here, we’ll take a moment to appreciate the landscape before proceeding to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. If the basilica happens to be shut, your guide will impart knowledge about this 19th-century church while you marvel at its impressive architecture.

First class tour of Montmarte with Heidi. - Our guide, Heidi, was 1st class. She really delved into the the history of Montmarte and had lots of interesting insights into this historic Parisian arrondissement. Who was responsible for Van Gogh’s success? Where did he live in Montmarte? What were the origins of the Paris Commune? What is the reason the subway station is named Blanche? What are the rules for the local artists who display their work in the plaza? Who was Edith Piaf? If you want a guide who brings the history to life, you can’t go wrong with Heidi!

Experience the artistic history of Paris!! - Sara was amazing giving us an extensive but not overwhelming history of the area. As an art history lover, I enjoyed learning about the erosionan stories behind icons of key artistic movements like Van Gough, Picasso, Monet, etc. I appreciated her providing curated list of where to eat and how to get back down to the meeting point (that was wonderful to experience by the way!). 10/10 no notes

Lots to learn - Montmartre walking tour with Maria was fun. A bit of hill climbing but not too much and not too much talking. Lots to learn and look at.
