About this tour
Walk through Montmartre's bohemian streets on this 2-hour guided tour, tracing the creative paths of Picasso and Van Gogh whilst sampling regional food. You'll start at the legendary Moulin Rouge, wind through atmospheric lanes like Rue Lepic and Rue des Abbesses, taste three local snacks along the way, then reach Place du Tertre where street artists still work their craft. The tour finishes at Basilique du Sacré-Cœur with sweeping Paris vistas. A blend of art, architecture, and flavour.
Highlights
- Moulin Rouge: birthplace of the can-can and belle époque excess
- Rue Lepic and Rue des Abbesses: neighbourhood favourite streets

- Place du Tertre: working artists and neighbourhood energy
- Basilique du Sacré-Cœur with panoramic city views

What to expect
Expect a steady 2-hour uphill walk through tight Montmartre streets with frequent stops at small shops and food vendors. Your guide—available in English, Dutch, or Spanish—will point out where famous painters lived and worked, share neighbourhood history, and hand you three carefully chosen local snacks to taste as you go. The route builds towards Place du Tertre, where local artists exhibit and sell their work, and culminates at the white-domed basilica overlooking Paris. The neighbourhood feels genuinely lived-in, not theatre.
