Step into the storybook charm of Montmartre, Paris’s most artistic neighborhood, on this private walking tour with a local expert. Over two hours, discover why this hilltop village has inspired painters, writers, and dreamers for centuries.

Wander past the old windmills, hidden gardens, and lively cafés that capture Montmartre’s unique atmosphere. Hear stories of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Renoir, who lived and worked here when Montmartre was the beating heart of the Paris art scene. Stroll through the Place du Tertre, where artists still paint outdoors, and see where classic films and modern pop culture moments were born.
