Only this tour will show you all. And tell you all.
We’ll show you the landmarks: the church of Sacré Coeur, artists’ corner, Paris’ last vineyards, and so on.
We’ll tell you the stories: what the Cabaret of the assassins is about. How Montmartre became the birthplace of Impressionism - and Van Gogh - and Picasso. And even why so many locals actually hate their church of Sacré Coeur.
We'll take you where other groups don't go. So many tourists in Montmartre! So of course we'll hit the must-sees. But we will also take you off-the-tourist-path every chance we get. And that's a promise.
Our route covers the landmarks of Montmartre:
We don't want you to just know Montmartre. We want you to love it.
We walk rain or shine, and your guide wears a pink vest that you cannot miss.
Meet outside metro station Blanche, at street level. Look for the guide in a PINK VEST. Rain or shine. (the google maps link for the Blanche metro station: http://bit.ly/montmartre-start) If you are running a bit late, the second stop on the tour is directly in front of the Moulin Rouge.
