Start off by exploring the magical streets which wind their way up Montmartre to Sacré Coeur. This is where Van Gogh found his calling. Where Renoir emerged as leader of the Impressionists. And where Picasso became a great master. Locals say the hill is enchanted.

Explore the charming, historical hill top. And discover the Sacré Coeur basilica, artists' square, Moulin Rouge, and the cabaret of the assassins.

After your small group tour, enjoy skip-the-line access to the Musée d'Orsay, the world's largest collection of impressionist art. Or save your ticket for the day of your choice. As you explore the museum, you recognize the streets and shops of Montmartre in every gallery.

To fully appreciate the Musée d'Orsay, you need to know the hill of Montmartre. You will see Montmartre in the paintings of the Orsay. This 90 minute walking tour is a must for any art lover.
