As you turn towards Montmartre’s cobblestone streets, you will soon notice the village-like ambiance of this distinct neighborhood. This is especially true as you see the shops along the Rue des Martyrs, which legend has it was the very street the first bishop of Paris was crucified. Your guide will also draw your attention to Montmartre’s historic vineyard landscape, and the centuries’ old history behind some of the winemakers in the area.
You will have plenty of time to take pictures by the former homes of artists such as Van Gogh, Renoir and Picasso. You will also have the chance to stop by Montmartre’s oldest cabaret – Au Lapin Agile. Founded in 1860, Au Lapin Agile frequently hosted famous artists such as such as Edith Piaf and inspired paintings by the likes of Picasso and Utrillo.

Before reaching Montmartre’s summit and the pure white Sacré-Cœur, enjoy a delicious slice of freshbaked bread from one of Montmartre’s highly awarded bakeries. After loading up on crunchy carbs, it’s time to head up to Montmartre’s most famous church and enjoy unforgettable views of the Paris skyline. Although your adventure ends here, feel free to walk inside Sacré-Cœur after you have taken your requisite selfies.
HIGHLIGHT: Sacré-Cœur
Along with the Eiffel Tower, the Sacré-Cœur is one of the easiest landmarks to spot in Paris. Although both structures were built in the late 1800s, it took 40 years to complete Sacré-Cœur compared with
two years for the Eiffel Tower. From the outside, your guide will explain why the church is called the “meringue”. Take a close look at the church’s Château-Landon stone exterior, a remarkable work of architecture and enjoy one of the most beloved structures in Paris.
