About this tour
Ride a narrow-gauge train through Montmartre's winding streets, starting at Sacré-Cœur and threading past the Lapin Agile cabaret, local vineyards, and the cemetery where Toulouse-Lautrec is buried. Your guide unpacks the neighbourhood's artistic legacy—where Picasso and Van Gogh worked—before you spot the Moulin Rouge's red mill. Opt to extend with a one-hour Seine cruise drifting past Notre-Dame, the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower, with commentary in 14 languages. Two hours total in central Paris.

What to expect
The mini-train departs from Sacré-Cœur's steps and meanders through narrow streets, stopping at viewpoints and landmarks whilst your guide shares anecdotes about the artists who made Montmartre famous. Expect tight turns, steep slopes, and compact seating—the train is charming but snug. The route covers roughly two kilometres in around 40 minutes. If you've booked the Seine extension, you'll walk to a nearby riverbank dock and board an open-air boat. The cruise glides past floodlit monuments; bring a jumper for the evening breeze.
Good to know
Train tickets are included; the Seine cruise is optional and booked separately. Wheelchairs fit the boat but not the train. Wear comfortable shoes for any walking between stops. Public transport gets you to Sacré-Cœur. The train runs year-round but books quickly in summer.
