If Montmartre could talk, it would probably laugh, sing, swear, and drink wine. Can-can dancers have danced here, artists have traded paintings for wine, and one saint walked six kilometers with his own head in his hands after his execution. On a walk through Montmartre with an audio guide from TouringBee, you’ll find stories about the legendary Moulin Rouge, the greengrocer’s shop from Amelie, the Wall of Love, and the places where Picasso and Modigliani created.

What’s waiting for you?
Montmartre is where legends were born, geniuses created, and Moulin Rouge dancers drove audiences crazy. On this walk, you’ll hear amusing stories about local cabarets, unusual monuments, and how the miller of a Montmartre mill was supposedly victimized by the Cossacks. Switch on the audio guide and go on the most fun tour ever!
- La Galette Mill is the same mill that inspired Renoir and Van Gogh, and according to legend, was the site of a massacre by Cossacks
- Saint-Vensant Cemetery – where bohemian but almost unknown artists are buried, and why it hasn’t become a second Père Lachaise
- Place du Tertre – the heart of Montmartre – where street artists draw tourists and the mayor’s office selects the best
- Saint-Pierre Church – the oldest church in Paris – built before Notre Dame, surviving the revolutionary potato fold
- Sacré-Coeur – a temple born in scandal – how the French squabbled for 40 years about whether it should be built, and why it was dedicated to the victims of WWI
- Rooftops of Paris and student attics – why Parisian roofs are so gray, and who lives in the 18th arrondissement, in former maids’ rooms

- The audio guide only includes the itinerary for the Montmartre walk; entrance fees are purchased separately
- Our author's audio guides for Paris attractions are available as an option
