Tour 5 : Montmartre,
the village on the hill in the big city

Tour details:

On this tour we will visit the famous Montmartre, an ancient village on a hill that was swallowed up by Paris as it expanded in the nineteenth century.

We will tell about the characters and artists who lived and created there, we will move away from areas crowded with tourists to where you can still feel a rural atmosphere, and we will also observe spectacular views of Paris.

The tour begins at the foot of Montmartre at the largest fabric market in Europe: marché Saint Pierre.

We will go up to the square of the Sacred Heart Church (we will not enter the church). We will continue to the place du Tèrtre, which is packed with tourists. From there we will continue to lesser-known alleys that have maintained an authentic pastoral atmosphere. We will end at the place des Abbesses, which has a very Parisian, lively and cool atmosphere.

There is an option (if possible) to add, at the beginning or end of this tour, a short excursion to popular and cool places in the 18th arrondissement.

The length of the route is about 3.5 km, with ups and downs,
