Paris: Montmartre Walking Tours
The Vibe:Bohemian Paris, one cobbled lane at a time
Perched on the city's highest hill, this quarter drew Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh to its cheap studios and cabarets. Its lanes still trade on that bohemian legend.
Cobbles climb past a vineyard, buskers and café terraces toward the white basilica. Painters set up easels on Place du Tertre as tour groups pass.
- Montmartre's lanes drew Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh and Dalí
- Home to the last working vineyard in central Paris
- A filming location for Amélie, still a fan pilgrimage
- Place du Tertre remains the city's open-air painters' square
