What To Expect
Montmartre
Discover the history of Montmartre, as we will climb the butte or hills - starting at its base where the Moulin Rouge’s windmill still spins slowly. Wind up the hill and its cobbled streets flooded with charm to discover the houses of artists like Van Gogh and Picasso who called Montmartre home. At the summit, enter the gleaming white basilica of Sacré Coeur, and score a spectacular photo op of Paris from one of the city’s highest points. Lovers of the film Amélie, will feel at home in this district, where much of the movie was filmed. Continue to explore Montmartre's highlights that generally include - Moulin Rouge, Sacré Coeur Cathedral (with time allowed to explore inside as well), Place Dalida, Moulin de la Galette, Vincent Van Gogh’s house, The Artists’ Square, and Amélie Café. Consider an evening tour option and catch a sunset over the city if you’re lucky (depending on the season).
Moulin Rouge
From our meeting point, we will start by heading towards the infamous Moulin Rouge, a cabaret known for its entertainment for a diverse public, and for being a source of inspiration for international artists like Auguste Renoir.

5.00Montmartre is such a beautiful area but without a guide you would miss so much. The walk is not terribly strenuous and it reveals a historic area where so many artists flourished. Our three grandchildren, ages 10-14 really learned a lot. As it was late afternoon, our seven year old had no interest in the tour so I brought her back to the air b&b so she wouldn’t ruin it for the others.
Great tour!!!

5.00This was a wonderful tour filled with history and insight that brought the Impressionist era and the artists to life. Hugo, our guide, was fantastic and made the tour a fun and educational experience while we wandered the streets getting soaked by the rain! Highly recommend.

5.00This tour included a brief albeit meaningful history beyond what's typically provided by a tour guide. Francois V provided all of the facts (the good, the bad, and the ugly) potentially shifting your beliefs/opinions from what you thought you knew about certain subjects discussed during the tour - what a treat! Francois is passionate about his work as a guide, and you will come away impressed, and a little better informed! Highly recommended.
