Montmartre walking tour: artists and hidden corners

The Montmartre of Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec

A local guide traces the streets, studios and cafés behind Montmartre's bohemian reputation: the hill of Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Pissarro.

You pass the Wall of Love, the Bateau-Lavoir, the Moulin de la Galette and Place du Tertre, ending near Sacré-Cœur, free to enter afterwards. A wine and cheese tasting can be added.
