Climb into Montmartre’s bohemia and see where café talks, cabarets, and cramped studios rewired art. You’ll hear how Lautrec’s posters went from street walls to museums, where Van Gogh’s Paris years changed his color, and why a rabbit-leaping cabaret still glows at night. Start anywhere, linger where it grabs you, and let our guides connect what you’re seeing to the artists who made this hill famous.
Highlights
Moulin Rouge — the can-can’s electric debut and the red windmill that drew Paris uphill.
Place du Tertre — working artists’ square; portraits today on ground once trod by Picasso and friends.
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur — gleaming domes, giant mosaic, and the debate that followed its construction.
Musée de Montmartre — Renoir’s studio, Valadon, Utrillo; gardens above a pocket vineyard.
Van Gogh’s House — Rue Lepic address where his palette brightened and Paris scenes took shape.
Le Lapin Agile — candlelit cabaret of chanson and painters’ pranks; Picasso’s night that became legend.
Dalí Paris — sculptures and engravings that turn surreal ideas into 3D objects.
All this, plus additional "hidden gems," expertly brought to life through our virtual guides....with rich, vivid history, local stories, and unmatched knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Even better, no tipping required!
