Activity itinerary

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

You simply can’t come to Paris without visiting the Sacré-Cœur! It’s one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and the heart of historic Montmartre. Perched high above the city, this stunning basilica offers not only breathtaking views but also a deep sense of Parisian soul and charm. It’s an absolute must-see, a place where history, art, and beauty come together in the most magical way!

Place du Tertre

Place du Tertre is the beating heart of Montmartre, a truly iconic square where artists set up their easels to paint charming watercolor cityscapes or sketch portraits on the spot. Surrounded by cozy cafés and bustling little restaurants, it’s an absolute delight to wander through. The atmosphere is vibrant, creative, and unmistakably Parisian. And the best part? This enchanting square leads you straight to the breathtaking Sacré-Cœur Basilica, making it a perfect stop on your Montmartre adventure!

Le Mur des Je t'aime

The ‘I Love You Wall’ is more than just a photo stop, it’s a celebration of love in over 300 languages, right in the heart of Montmartre. Whether you’re here with a partner, a friend, or solo, it’s a beautiful reminder of what brings us together. And in a city that’s often called the capital of romance, it’s a small but powerful symbol of universal connection.

Rue Lepic

Rue Lepic is one of Montmartre’s most iconic streets, it winds its way up the hill with a charm that feels straight out of a movie. Along the way, you’ll pass old cafés, traditional bakeries, and even the apartment where Van Gogh lived with his brother Theo. This street captures the true spirit of Montmartre: artistic, lively, and a little bit rebellious. Plus, it leads straight to the Moulin de la Galette and eventually the Moulin Rouge, two legendary spots in Parisian nightlife and art history

Moulin Rouge

We start our tour at the Moulin Rouge, and that’s no coincidence. This legendary cabaret is deeply tied to the identity of Montmartre. In the late 19th century, it was the heart of the Parisian nightlife scene, where artists like Toulouse-Lautrec found endless inspiration. The red windmill isn’t just an iconic landmark, it’s a symbol of freedom, creativity, and the bohemian spirit that defined this neighborhood. If you’re in Paris, seeing the Moulin Rouge isn’t just fun, it’s essential to understanding the city’s cultural soul.

Eglise de St Jean Montmartre

Saint-Jean de Montmartre is a hidden gem at the foot of the hill. It was the first Paris church built in reinforced concrete, with stunning Art Nouveau design. Its colorful brickwork and mosaics reflect Montmartre’s creative spirit. Quiet, unique, and full of charm, it’s absolutely worth a stop.

Le Moulin de la Galette

The Moulin de la Galette is a rare survivor of Montmartre’s windmill past. In the 19th century, it became a lively open-air dance hall, immortalized by Renoir and other artists. It captures the festive, bohemian spirit that once defined the neighborhood. Today, it’s a quiet symbol of Montmartre’s golden age, and a must-see.

Le Passe-Muraille

The “Passe-Muraille” statue is a playful tribute to a famous French short story. It depicts a man walking through a wall, quite literally, in the heart of Montmartre. Created by actor-turned-sculptor Jean Marais, it blends surrealism with local legend. Quirky, poetic, and unexpected, it’s one of Montmartre’s hidden delights.
