About this tour

Spend two hours exploring Montmartre's hilltop streets with kids in tow. Your local guide navigates the district's winding lanes, pointing out the basilica interior and the artist quarter at Place du Tertre. The route deliberately breaks up walking with playground stops and a carousel ride near Abbesses, where you'll spot the Wall of Love. The tour finishes at the Moulin Rouge's doorstep, giving families a manageable pace through one of Paris's most storied neighbourhoods.

What to expect

Your guide will move at a family-friendly tempo, stopping frequently so children can burn energy and adults can catch their breath. Expect cobblestone streets, some steep sections, and narrow passages typical of old Montmartre. The basilica visit is brief but gives context to the district's religious significance. At Place du Tertre, you'll weave through artists sketching portraits and selling work—a genuine, working part of the neighbourhood rather than a staged performance. A proper playground break lets kids play whilst you sit. The Abbesses detour includes a carousel ride and the famous Wall of Love, a quirky photo moment. Walking ends at Moulin Rouge's entrance; the cabaret show itself costs extra.

Strollers and prams are fine for infants. The route involves moderate hill walking and some steep bits—not suitable if you struggle with cardio. Bring water and snacks; the tour excludes meals. Funicular train costs €2.15 per person if you choose to use it. Service animals welcome.
