Your walk begins at the Moulin Rouge and climbs Montmartre's back streets to the top. Most tours go the other way. You'll pass Van Gogh's apartment, the Wall of Love, Picasso's studio and the last vineyard in Paris, then enter Place du Tertre away from the crowds. Your tour ends on the Sacré-Cœur terrace with all of Paris below. Maximum 8 guests — a conversation, not a lecture.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your guide outside the Blanche metro station (Line 2), at street level, on the pavement beside the metro sign — directly across the road from the Moulin Rouge. Your guide will be holding a black Scenic Zest sign.
Your tour finishes on the terrace in front of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, at the top of Montmartre. Before saying goodbye, your guide will point out the funicular, the Anvers and Abbesses metro stations and the nearest taxi rank, so you know exactly how to continue your day.
