About this tour
Walk through Montmartre's winding streets over three hours, stopping at neighbourhood spots to taste regional specialities whilst your guide recounts the district's colourful past. Starting at Anvers metro, you'll sample six dishes—from buttery pastries to savoury classics—as you climb toward Sacré-Cœur. This tour threads together the stories of artists and misfits who defined the quarter with the food that still defines it, offering a grounded sense of how Montmartre actually feels to those who know it.
Highlights
- Six tastings across neighbourhood bakeries, charcuteries and wine stops
- Local guide shares lesser-known tales of Montmartre's artistic subculture
- Walk from Anvers metro to Sacré-Cœur basilica on quieter side streets
- Taste croque-monsieur, kouign-amann, éclair and regional wine pairings
- Moderate fitness level required; pram-friendly route available
What to expect
Expect a steady three-hour ramble with regular pauses at small independent shops—bakeries, delis, wine bars—where you'll be handed plates and glasses by staff familiar with the tour. Your guide will stop between tastings to point out buildings, plaques and corners tied to Montmartre's bohemian heyday and darker chapters. The pace is leisurely but continuous; you'll cover ground whilst eating, so comfortable shoes matter. The ascent to Sacré-Cœur is gentle but real. Weather and shop hours may shift the exact order of stops.
Good to know
Bring cash for any extras; six tastings are included but gratuities and bottled water aren't. The route works with pushchairs on wider stretches. Public transport nearby if you need to bail early. Moderate fitness helps—there are stairs and inclines, especially near the basilica.
