About this activity

Now the neighbourhood is full of great bars and restaurants, artists’ studios, and even a vineyard!

Your Expert Guide will help you explore the rich history of Montmartre, beginning with the famous Moulin Rouge, finding the house of Van Gogh and even Picasso’s studio, arriving finally at the magnificent Sacré-Coeur Basilica on top of the highest hill in Paris, for breathtaking views of the city.
