What to expect
Expect a steady pace through Montmartre's steep cobbled streets. Your guide shares stories about the artists and political movements that defined the district, using historical images on a tablet to illustrate points. You'll see famous landmarks, but also slip into smaller lanes most visitors miss. The walk covers roughly 2.5 hours, so comfortable shoes matter. The neighbourhood sits on a hill, so there's regular climbing and descending.
