Why choose this tour?

Why You’ll Love It

  • The bishop who walked down the hill carrying his own head
  • The man who could walk through walls, and the wall he got stuck in
  • Picasso’s first studio, the windmill Renoir painted, and the Lapin Agile, a legendary artists’ hangout
  • Place du Tertre, followed by sweeping views of Paris from Sacré-Cœur

With Kids

Kids follow clues as they make their way up the hill: a hidden windmill, a man trapped in a wall, and a trail of painters. Most tours include an activity booklet. Best for ages 6–11.

Also Great For

  • Friends and Couples: Discover a side of Montmartre that most visitors miss, beyond the crowds at Place du Tertre.
  • Teams: An active outing that ends with one of the best views in Paris.

Good to Know

  • About 1.2 miles (2 km), with plenty of stairs
  • Sacré-Cœur is explored from the outside only, but you’re welcome to go inside afterward
  • Tours run rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes
