Itinerary
5 min
Where Paris learned to steal the spotlight. Begin beneath Montmartre’s unmistakable red windmill. Opened in 1889, the Moulin Rouge became synonymous with dazzling nightlife, cancan dancers and the posters of Toulouse-Lautrec. Discover the contrast between the glamorous legend and the restless artistic neighborhood rising behind it. Photo: the red windmill announcing the start of your Montmartre adventure.
5 min
An unassuming address that helped change modern art. Step into a leafy square associated with artists who had enormous ambitions and very little money. Picasso worked here on Les Demoiselles d’Avignon in 1907—a painting that challenged the way people looked at art. Behind the modest façade lies a story of friendship, hardship and creative rebellion.
5 min
A windmill, a dance floor and an Impressionist masterpiece. Discover a surviving reminder of Montmartre’s village past, when flour mills and lively dance gardens shared the hillside. Renoir immortalized its carefree social world in 1876. Picture the music, movement and Sunday crowds that turned an ordinary afternoon into art history.
10 min
Your Paris-rooftop finale. Finish beneath the white domes of Sacré-Cœur, consecrated in 1919. After the neighborhood’s intimate lanes and artists’ stories, the panorama opens into a completely different Paris: rooftops, monuments and a city stretching toward the horizon. Photo: a memorable Paris portrait with the skyline spread beneath you.
15 min
Private tour only. Two celebrated sweet traditions behind one tempting door. Explore a chocolate house founded in 1761, whose Rue Lepic boutique also carries Stohrer pâtisserie. Nutty pralines, delicate macarons and jewel-colored fruit jellies introduce different sides of French confectionery. Your selected tasting assortment may include a chocolate praline, a macaron and a pâte de fruit—small bites with wonderfully different textures.
15 min
Private tour only. The pink-and-blue shop that makes fruit the star. Admire a cheerful neighborhood pâtisserie known for rustic fruit tarts and generously arranged seasonal toppings. Its appeal is refreshingly simple: colorful fruit, buttery pastry and the comforting pleasure of a traditional French tart. Enjoy a selected fruit-tart portion, with the flavor depending on the day’s baking.
15 min
Private tour only. A bakery with two Paris baguette victories. Discover the bakery where Djibril Bodian won Paris’s prestigious baguette competition in 2010 and 2015. Those awards celebrate bread, while the tempting pastry counter offers another delicious introduction to French baking. Your selected treat may be a buttery croissant or pain au chocolat, depending on availability.
5 min
Private tour only. A little Mediterranean sunshine in Montmartre. Discover an unexpected citrus specialist connected to a family plantation in southern France with more than 400 trees. Yuzu, Meyer lemon and bergamot reveal how much character can hide inside a spoonful of marmalade.
5 min
Private tour only. One small square, hundreds of ways to say “I love you.” Hear the story of the artwork created in 2000, bringing together declarations of love across 612 tiles. This much-loved Montmartre landmark gives the neighborhood’s stories of affection and heartbreak a fitting counterpart. The wall is currently inaccessible; your guide introduces its story from the surrounding area. Viewing the artwork itself depends on access reopening.
5 min
Private tour only. Before the sunflowers, there was this Paris address. Look up at the building where Vincent lived with his brother Theo from 1886 to 1888. Paris introduced him to new painters, brighter colors and ideas that transformed his work. This ordinary-looking façade recalls an extraordinary turning point.
5 min
Private tour only. A man who could walk through walls—until he couldn’t. Find one of Montmartre’s most playful sculptures: a figure apparently trapped halfway through a wall. Inspired by Marcel Aymé’s 1943 story, it brings a mischievous literary twist to the neighborhood. Photo: join the scene for a playful Montmartre portrait.
5 min
Private tour only. The voice Montmartre never forgot. Meet the bronze likeness of Dalida, installed in 1997, and discover why the internationally famous singer remained so closely associated with this village-like corner of Paris. Her story adds music, glamour and human vulnerability to the walk.
5 min
Private tour only. A pink house made for a Paris postcard. Follow picturesque Rue de l’Abreuvoir to the little pink restaurant associated with Montmartre’s artistic world. Its sloping street, shutters and village proportions make this one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable scenes. Photo: the winding lane and pink façade, with you in your own Montmartre postcard.
5 min
Private tour only. A vineyard hiding in the capital. Discover vines planted in 1933, preserving a surprising piece of Montmartre’s rural identity. From the public pavement, see how a hillside better known for painters and cabarets still celebrates a wine-growing tradition.
5 min
Private tour only. The cabaret where even a donkey entered art history. Pause outside the tiny cabaret associated with poets, painters and unconventional nights. In 1910, a painting made with a donkey’s tail became part of an elaborate art-world hoax—a wonderfully eccentric glimpse of Montmartre’s mischievous spirit.
5 min
Private tour only. Behind this doorway, artists made Montmartre famous. Discover the museum’s exterior and the story of the former studios within. Renoir worked here in 1876; Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo also belonged to this remarkable artistic setting. The museum, founded in 1960, preserves the neighborhood’s creative memory.
5 min
Private tour only. Where Montmartre still reaches for its paintbrush. Watch the square fill with easels, portraits and lively café terraces. After discovering the addresses of famous painters, enjoy a setting where creating and selling art remains part of everyday street life. Photo: artists at work and a village-square backdrop full of Parisian character.
5 min
Private tour only. A medieval surprise beside the famous white basilica. Find the quieter church that many visitors overlook on their way to Sacré-Cœur. Consecrated in 1147, Saint-Pierre recalls the abbey and village that existed centuries before Montmartre became an artists’ legend.
