Guided Tour of Montmartre and Optional Boat Ride – Ile-de-France, France

EXPERIENCE:

This is no ordinary tour; here, we’ll experience the very essence of life in Paris! Forget about typical tourist itineraries; this time, we’ll dive into the stories and lives that make this place truly magical. Let’s get started!

Our journey begins at the Blanche metro station, where you’ll meet our guide, who has all the secrets of Montmartre tucked away in their hat. We’ll dive headfirst into the red-light district, where we’ll discover one of Paris’s most famous landmarks: Moulin Rouge! Get ready for an explosion of neon lights, cancan dancers, and colorful boas that will leave you in awe!

And if you thought the Moulin Rouge was the only standout cabaret, wait until you discover the Moulin de la Galette! It started as an actual windmill, but eventually became one of the city’s most prominent entertainment venues.

Speaking of iconic characters, who isn’t familiar with the charming Amélie Poulain? If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll feel right at home as you recognize the corners where the scenes from “Amélie” were filmed. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry—you’ll fall in love with the cafes, terraces, and street artists that fill the streets with Montmartre. The bohemian spirit is alive and well here, and there’s no better place to experience it than this Parisian corner.

But that’s not all! Montmartre is also a place for love. In the Place des Abbesses, you’ll find the famous “I Love You Wall” or “Le mur des je t’aime.” It’s an artwork that gathers 250 different ways to say “I love you.” How many ways do you know? If you’re looking for a romantic moment, this is the perfect spot to express it!

Our tour culminates at one of Paris’s most iconic symbols: the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. This majestic church dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus dominates the skyline with its impressive dimensions. With a length of 83 meters and a width of 35 meters, its tower rises 83 meters high, making it an almost omnipresent sight in the city.

From the Basilica, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Paris. And if, at the end of the tour, you feel up to it, there are two options to reach it. The first is to climb the nearly two hundred steps that will take you to the cathedral, but if you prefer something more comfortable, you can always hop on the Funicular at Place Saint Pierre.

After immersing ourselves in the vibrant life of Montmartre, you’ll head towards the Seine, the majestic river that runs through the heart of Paris. You’ll board an elegant cruise ship and enjoy a relaxing ride along its banks.

Onboard the boat, you’ll hear interesting facts about the famous bridges we’ll cross. We can’t forget to mention the Eiffel Tower, the indisputable jewel of Paris, which you’ll spot perfectly as it stands next to the port. You’ll see it from a unique perspective, and you’ll be able to capture the best souvenir photos.

Immerse yourself in the life, history, and curiosities of both this magical neighborhood of Paris and the River Seine.
