About This Tour

Your walk begins at the Moulin Rouge and climbs Montmartre's back streets to the top. Most tours go the other way. You'll pass Van Gogh's apartment, the Wall of Love, Picasso's studio and the last vineyard in Paris, then enter Place du Tertre away from the crowds. Your tour ends on the Sacré-Cœur terrace with all of Paris below. Maximum 8 guests — a conversation, not a lecture.
