MONTMARTRE AND SACRE COEUR TOUR

TOUR DESCRIPTION

When you think about Paris, you imagine old, picturesque and narrow streets, big boulevards, hundreds of cafés and squares, and the big famous monuments.

Our Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Church Private Tour offers you all of that. Starting at Place des Abbesses your private guide will show you one of the most typical quarters of Paris, where artists like Picasso, Van Gogh and Renoir used to live, as this was the hill, where local artists could get a cheap place to stay. So it's only logical, that artistic movements such as Cubism and Impressionism developed into modern art in this specific area.

Hundreds of years ago, this neighbourhood was covered with windmills and vineyards and you'll still be able to see some of them. You'll not miss Amelie Poulin grocery store, the “Passer Through Walls“, Saint Denis Square, the “I love you” wall and many other very Parisian places. To climb the hill to Sacre Coeur Church you can either choose to ascend the 197 steps by foot or take a ride in the electric funicular. This funicular was inaugurated in 1900 and since then it has brought more than 2 million people uphill every year.

While admiring this wonderful church from the outside your guide will share all of its secrets with you before going inside, where silence for prayers should be kept. This tour will make you fall in love with one of the most typical and amazing quarters of Paris, Montmartre!
