Overview

Discover the magic of Montmartre with Ezrah — a passionate local storyteller who brings the neighborhood to life through history, humor, legends, and unforgettable stories. This is more than just a walking tour. It’s an experience designed to help you truly feel the spirit of Montmartre — the village of artists, cabarets, dreamers, and hidden streets that shaped the soul of Paris. Beginning at the Moulin Rouge, we’ll climb through cobblestone lanes, vineyards, windmills, cafés, artist studios, and breathtaking viewpoints while uncovering the stories behind figures like Van Gogh, Picasso, Dalida, and the bohemian world that made Montmartre legendary. With engaging storytelling and local insight, Ezrah shares not just the history of Montmartre — but the atmosphere, emotion, and character that still make it one of the most captivating neighborhoods in Paris today. **Please note: The €2.99 charged at booking is a platform reservation fee and not payment for the guided tour**

Itinerary

1. Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge marks the entrance to Montmartre, where elegant Paris once collided with scandal, nightlife, and rebellion. Beneath its famous red windmill, can-can dancers, artists, writers, and bohemians gathered during the Belle Époque, turning this neighborhood into the beating heart of Parisian nightlife and creative freedom.
Duration: 10 mins
2. Appartement des frères Vincent et Théo van Gogh
Here, we’ll discover a glimpse into Vincent’s life; his struggles, his artistic journey, and why Montmartre became such an important part of transforming him into the world-renowned artist we admire today.
Duration: 10 mins
3. Rue Tholozé
Perched at the intersection of Rue Lepic and Rue Tholozé, this viewpoint offers a perfect glimpse into the charm of Montmartre — quiet neighborhood streets, elegant Parisian buildings, and in the distance, one of the city’s most historic monuments rising above the skyline.
Duration: 5 mins
4. Le Moulin de la Galette
The Moulin de la Galette is more than just the oldest surviving windmill in Montmartre — it’s a symbol of the neighborhood itself. Long before Montmartre became part of Paris, these hilltop windmills fed and sustained an independent village community known for its resilience, strong identity, and rebellious spirit. Even today, monuments like this remind us why the people here proudly called themselves ‘Montmartois’ rather than Parisians.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Le Bateau-Lavoir
In this unassuming place of Montmartre I will tell you the story of this once artists residence and its huge impact on the art world. After discussing the Bateau-Lavoir we will also see the historic Wallace fountain in the square and talk about its fascinating story and how it helped modernize the city. During this we will take a break from walking and spend a few minutes in the shade of the trees in the square.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Square Suzanne-Buisson
Tucked away from the crowds, Square Suzanne Buisson reveals the quieter, village-like side of Montmartre. Here stands the statue of Saint Denis, whose legendary martyrdom is said to have given Montmartre both its name and its spiritual origins — shaping the history of the neighborhood for centuries to come.
Duration: 10 mins
7. Buste de Dalida
The bust of Dalida stands as a tribute to one of France’s most beloved and unforgettable performers. Known for her beauty, intelligence, charisma, and deeply emotional voice, Dalida became a symbol of both glamour and vulnerability in French culture. More than 40 years after her death, people still come here to remember her — a reminder that some figures leave behind not just fame, but a lasting emotional connection that continues to endure across generations.
Duration: 5 mins
8. Rue de l'Abreuvoir
Discover one of the most beautiful and photographed streets in Paris, where the charm of old Montmartre still survives. Rue de l’Abreuvoir offers cobblestone lanes, village-like houses, and a stunning view of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica rising above the hill.
Duration: 5 mins
9. La Maison Rose
La Maison Rose is one of Montmartre’s most iconic landmarks. A charming pink café that has become a symbol of the neighborhood’s artistic and village-like spirit. Surrounded by quiet cobblestone streets, it has inspired painters, photographers, and visitors for generations.
Duration: 10 mins
10. Place Du Tertre
Place du Tertre is the crown jewel of Montmartre’s artistic community — a lively square where painters, sketch artists, and cafés continue the creative traditions that once attracted some of the greatest artists in Paris. Even today, it remains one of the best places to experience the bohemian spirit that made Montmartre famous.
Duration: 5 mins
11. Basilique Du Sacre-Coeur De Montmartre
Our tour reaches its grand finale at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, standing high above Paris with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the city. From here, you can admire landmarks like Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and the endless rooftops stretching across the capital. But behind the beauty of the basilica lies a far darker and more controversial story — one deeply tied to conflict, revolution, and the turbulent history of Paris itself.
Duration: 10 mins
