Full description
Meet your expert English-speaking guide and join your fellow travelers to start your walking tour of the artistic Montmartre district by the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret theater, where Toulouse-Lautrec drew some of the most famous pictures of the nightlife of Paris.
Begin your relaxing journey through the winding streets to arrive at Cafe des 2 Moulins, featured in the popular movie Amelie. Continue uphill and walk the streets where Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso and other artists lived and worked. Stroll along the Rue Abbesses and learn its history dating back to ancient times.
Along the way you will pass the only remaining vineyard in Paris, and the last 2 windmills still standing.
