Iconic for the white-domed Sacré Cœur basilica and home to the Moulin Rouge, Montmartre should be on every Parisian visitor's list.
Join your expert guide, learn about the history, admire the architecture and discover local secrets around this beloved neighborhood. Along the way, your guide will point out local food specialists and let you in on the local secrets to shopping for and enjoying Paris’ finest cheese, charcuterie, bread, wine and more.
