What to expect
Vigne du Clos Montmartre
Pass by
We begin at a small vineyard tucked among apartment buildings, a reminder that Montmartre was once covered in vines.
La Petite Maison Rose de Montmartre (Since 1920)
Pass by
We pass one of Montmartre’s most photographed streets and buildings, a picture-perfect moment.
Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montmartre
Pass by
One of the oldest churches in Paris, Saint-Pierre marks Montmartre as sacred ground and a site of pilgrimage in the early 1800s. For years, people from all over the world climbed this hill, tracing the steps of Montmartre’s legendary bishop.
Basilique Du Sacre-Coeur De Montmartre

We won’t enter the basilica, but we’ll unpack the tragic events that led to its construction and how they shaped Montmartre’s rebellious, outsider culture.
Le Bateau-Lavoir
Pass by
Best known as Picasso's studio, the Bateau-Lavoir gives us a moment to step beyond the famous names and look at the work of lesser-known artists who passed through Montmartre, artists shaped by the same precarity, and experimentation that defined the hill.
Pass by
We pass by the Moulin de la Galette, once a windmill turned popular dance spot, where working-class Parisians, artists, and outsiders gathered.
Moulin Rouge
Pass by
In front of the Moulin Rouge, we see how Montmartre’s rebellious spirit spilled downhill into Pigalle’s looser nightlife.
