What makes Montmartre Self Guided Walking Tour with an App a unique experience ?
Standing before the Moulin Rouge, the 1889 icon with a rich history. Once the first building in Paris with electricity, it’s now famed for dazzling shows and can-can dancers.
On Rue Lepic, you’ll find Café des Deux Moulins, famous for the film “Amélie.” Enjoy the cozy ambiance, French pastries, and aromatic coffee. A counter coffee still costs just 1 euro!
At 54 Rue Lepic, Vincent Van Gogh lived from 1886-1888. Supported by his brother Theo, he painted iconic works like “The Windmill at Montmartre” before moving to Arles.
As we walk, note Rue Burq, named after Dr. Victor Burq, who popularized copper bracelets for ailments. His unconventional methods marked his influence in Montmartre.
As we pass Le Grenier à Pain bakery, note the traditional baguettes, a staple in French culture since the 18th century. This bakery, award-winning in 2010 and 2015, continues the legacy with its acclaimed baguettes and pastries.
On your right, you’ll see Église Saint-Jean de Montmartre, a gem of Art Nouveau design. Built between 1894-1904, it’s known for its red-brick facade, stained-glass windows, and superb acoustics.
Check out the “Mur des je t’aime” or Wall of Love. Created by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito in 2000, it features “I Love You” in 311 languages, celebrating global love and unity.
At the summit, you’ll find stairs leading to a cobbled courtyard. Walk up and look left for the Bateau Lavoir, a historic dark green-painted building.
At Le Bateau-Lavoir, artists like Picasso and Modigliani lived and worked, shaping modern art. Nearby is a Wallace Fountain, a gift from Richard Wallace in the 1870s, providing free clean water.
At 49 Rue Gabrielle, you can see Picasso’s first Paris studio from 1900. Despite financial struggles, he resisted drawing for magazines, focusing on his art. Here, he began his “Blue Period” and captured Parisian life.
Inside Square Suzanne Buisson, you’ll find a statue of Saint Denis holding his head. Legend says he preached for 6 km after his beheading, marking Montmartre’s name.
At the Buste de Dalida, notice her shinier bust? Fans touch it for good luck, giving it a golden glow. Dalida, a French icon, left a lasting legacy with hits like “Bambino.”
Rue de l’Abreuvoir, Montmartre’s oldest street, offers stunning views. Its name means “watering hole.” Renoir painted “The Swing” here, capturing joyful Montmartre scenes.
On your left, you’ll see La Maison Rose, a former artist’s haunt now famous for its pink façade. It was a favorite of Utrillo, Piaf, and Dali. Book ahead to dine here!
On your right is Vigne du Clos Montmartre, one of Paris’s oldest vineyards. Despite facing north and producing less-than-stellar wine, it thrives through charity auctions.
