Montmartre is one of the most charming and historic neighborhoods in Paris. Known for its artistic past, stunning views, and quaint streets, it’s a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. If you’re planning a walking tour of Montmartre, here are the top spots you shouldn’t miss – and of course, we’ll tell you where to stop for an unforgettable cheese tasting and wine tasting experience!

1. Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Start your Montmartre walking tour at the famous Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Sitting at the highest point in Paris, this iconic church offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Step inside to admire its stunning mosaics and peaceful atmosphere.

2. Place du Tertre

Just a short walk from the Sacré-Cœur, Place du Tertre is the heart of Montmartre’s artistic soul. Here, local artists set up their easels and create portraits or paintings right before your eyes. It’s a great place to soak in the bohemian vibe of the neighborhood during your Montmartre walking tour.

3. The Wall of Love (Le Mur des Je t’aime)

A hidden gem in Montmartre, this wall features “I love you” written in over 250 languages. It’s a romantic stop, perfect for a photo before continuing your walking tour in Paris.

4. Rue de l’Abreuvoir & Maison Rose

One of the most picturesque streets in Montmartre, Rue de l’Abreuvoir leads to the iconic pink Maison Rose café, a favorite among photographers and visitors alike. This charming spot feels like a step back in time and is a must-see during your Montmartre walking session.

5. Moulin Rouge

At the base of Montmartre, you’ll find the legendary Moulin Rouge. While you might not have time to catch a cabaret show, its red windmill façade is an unmissable landmark and a great place to learn about Montmartre’s vibrant nightlife history. More than that, if you face the Moulin Rouge, you’ll notice a tiny street on the left. This road leads to a beautiful hidden bar on the rooftop of the Moulin Rouge, Le Bar à Bulles—a spot even many Parisians don’t know about!

6. Stop for a Cheese & Wine Tasting Experience with Max in Montmartre

After all that walking, you deserve a break – and what better way to experience Paris than joining a guided cheese tasting and wine tasting session?

I’ll introduce you to the stories behind each cheese and teach you how to pair them like a pro during a 2hour session. Whether you’re a foodie or just curious, this is a Paris tasting experience you won’t want to miss during your Montmartre walking tour.

7. Vineyard of Montmartre (Clos Montmartre)

Did you know Montmartre has its own vineyard? Tucked away behind a fence, the Clos Montmartre is a tiny but historic vineyard that still produces wine today. While it’s not open to the public year-round, you can admire it from the outside and learn about Montmartre’s surprising winemaking tradition.

8. Dalí Paris Museum

If you love surrealism, the Dalí Paris Museum is worth a visit. It showcases a fantastic collection of Salvador Dalí’s work, including sculptures, paintings, and drawings, adding a unique artistic stop to your Montmartre walking session.

9. Cimetière de Montmartre

For those who appreciate a quieter, reflective stop, the Montmartre Cemetery is home to the graves of famous figures like Dalida, Émile Zola, and Edgar Degas. It’s a peaceful and historic place to explore during your walking tour in Montmartre.

Conclusion

Montmartre is a magical neighborhood filled with history, art, and breathtaking views. As you wander its cobbled streets, make sure to take the time to truly experience its unique charm.
