Montmartre Self-Guided Audio Walk: Sacré-Cœur, Windmills, Vineyard and Place du Tertre

About this experience

Montmartre was a working hill before it was a painters' village: quarried for plaster, lined with windmills, planted with vines. Then came cheap studios, cabarets and a white basilica seen from all over Paris. Start under a Guimard metro entrance at Abbesses that was moved here from the city center, then climb past the rebuilt front of the Bateau-Lavoir, where Picasso lived, to the Moulin de la Galette, whose dance Renoir painted. Follow the ridge past the man in the wall, the Lapin Agile and its copied rabbit sign, the vineyard planted in 1933 and the Pink House, to Renoir's house, Place du Tertre and its licensed painters, a church consecrated in 1147 and the Sacré-Cœur, whose stone grows whiter in the rain. End at the foot of the hill, looking back up. Eleven stops, about 1.5 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace, in English. A steep climb with many steps. Entry to the basilica dome and the Musée de Montmartre is not included.
