We’ll begin at the I Love You Wall, an art installation featuring the words “I Love You” written in more than 300 languages. Climb the winding streets and visit popular landmarks and hidden gems along the way. These include the Moulin de la Galette, a historic windmill painted by Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the ancient Rue des Abbesses, various unusual artworks, the city’s only vineyard, and more.
At the highest natural point in Paris, the summit of Montmartre, we’ll pause to enjoy the views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.

Your guide has tips for what to look for inside. Admission is free.
You’ll stroll around the iconic basilica, then make your way to Place du Tertre, a charming square buzzing with artists and lined with picturesque restaurant terraces. The tour concludes outside La Bonne Franquette, a historic Montmartre restaurant that once welcomed legends like Van Gogh and Monet. After the tour, you’re welcome to step inside and savor its traditional French cuisine at your own pace — your guide is happy to recommend what you should try!

Montmartre tour reviews
This tour exceeded our expectations. Audrey is easy going, polite and very knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm for French history and cultural heritage is infectious. Not only do you get to know about Montmartre and the Basilique du Sacré Coeur, but she delves deep in the less touristy details that you rarely can be aware of otherwise. Highly recommended!
