Montmartre Free Walking Tour

If there's an alternative to Paris' classy center, it's Montmartre! Known for its artsy vibe, winding streets, red mills, and providing pleasures of both the mind and the body, this iconic location serves the Parisians and the world as both an inspiration... and a warning.

Please note that Montmartre is known for its uphill climbs, its stairs, and its iconic cobblestone roads! Therefore, it is unfortunately not wheelchair friendly.

Once a sleepy village located on the slopes of the Martyrs' Mountain, in the late 19th century Montmartre was transformed into the world capital of art. Couple that with a string of bohemian vagabonds settling here, and you've got yourself a mix like none other in the world. Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec to name just a few - many of them were engulfed in literature, philosophy, painting and... sex, drugs, and alcohol. Scandals abound, this place has it all and still draws the unruly among humankind.

On top of that, there stands the magnificent basilica of Sacré-Coeur. The surrounding streets winding up to it served as a backdrop of countless famous films and series.
