Discover the amazing atmosphere in the legendary red light district Pigalle, the artists's quarter on the hill of Montmartre and visit the overwhelming Basilica Sacré-Cœur.
We start with the famous Moulin Rouge. From here, I will bring you up to the hill of Montmartre on the footsteps of impressionist painters like Manet, Renoir or Van Gogh, the great Picasso and writers like Emile Zola.
We will visit the Basilica Sacré-Cœur, Paris' biggest church, having a guided tour inside, and we'll enjoy a breathtaking view all over Paris - including the Eiffel Tower - during sunset. I will bring you to small hidden streets with their cobblestones telling many surprising anecdotes.
Together we will visit the last still existing windmills on the hill, a vineyard created by artists wine and a completely pink restaurant that became so because of a drunk artist. We end on the famous square Place du Tertre where you can enjoy a drink or a meal in one of the many typical French restaurants.
