4Le Moulin de la Galette
The Moulin de la Galette is more than just the oldest surviving windmill in Montmartre — it’s a symbol of the neighborhood itself. Long before Montmartre became part of Paris, these hilltop windmills fed and sustained an independent village community known for its resilience, strong identity, and rebellious spirit. Even today, monuments like this remind us why the people here proudly called themselves ‘Montmartois’ rather than Parisians.

Our tour reaches its grand finale at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, standing high above Paris with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the city.
