Montmartre Free Walking Tour

Montmartre Free Walking Tour

We'll meet near the historic Moulin Rouge and climb uphill towards the bourgeois-bohemian Parisian neighborhood, Montmartre. This famous district, found in the 18th arrondissement, has set the scene for various critically acclaimed films. As we continue to scale the hills of Montmartre, we'll seek out the Café des Deux Moulins (from the film Amélie), the House of Van Gogh, and the Moulin de la Galette, otherwise known as the last windmill of Paris.

Next up, is the second-oldest church in Paris, the Saint-Pierre Montmartre. This site, rich in history spanning all the way back to the 5th century AD, is one of two main churches in the neighborhood. From here, we'll move on to see "Les murs de je t'aime," or the Wall of Love. This 40 square meter (430 square foot) wall, created in 2000, features the phrase "I love you" written in over 200  languages.

From here, we'll move on to several classic points of interest, like Bateau Lavoir, the famous meeting place for great minds of the 20th century, Place Dalida, a plaza dedicated to famous French musician Dalida, and also the neighborhood's last surviving vineyard.

As we edge closer to the hill's summit, we'll pass by the Place du Tertre, the former heart of the prestigious Benedictine Montmartre Abbey. Nearby we'll also find the Lapin Agile, one of Montmartre's most famous cabarets.

Finally, our tour concludes at the famous Basilica Sacré Coeur, adorned with statues of French heroes Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX. This grand temple, located at Paris' highest point, provides breathtaking views of the city, rivaling the Eiffel Tower for the best panoramic view in Paris

Here, after 2 hours and 45 minutes of getting to know this famous Parisian neighborhood, we'll bring the tour to an end.
