Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We kick off our adventure at the legendary Moulin Rouge, the red windmill that set the stage for Parisian cabaret and scandalous can-can shows. More than just a venue – it's where the spirit of bohemian Paris was born! Step into the glow of its lights and imagine the thrill of a night where anything could happen.

Just around the corner lies the Wall of Love, a poetic mural that brings together over 300 ways to say "I love you." A spot made for romance, perfect photos, and spontaneous kisses. Legend says a smooch here brings good luck (and it looks fantastic on Instagram

Next, we wander into this quiet little square that once buzzed with creative energy. Picasso, Modigliani, and a whole generation of artists walked these cobblestones, finding inspiration in every corner. Close your eyes and you can almost hear the whispers of the past – and the rustle of a painter’s canvas.

A must for music lovers and curious souls alike, La Maison de Dalida was home to one of France’s most beloved singers. The spirit of Dalida still lingers in the air, and her statue nearby receives fresh flowers daily. A touching tribute to a timeless icon.

Stop 5

A real piece of Parisian history – once a working windmill, later a buzzing dance hall, and now a muse for artists. Immortalized by Renoir, Le Moulin de la Galette was where wine, art, and laughter flowed freely. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into a painting.

Stop 6

This lively square is the beating heart of Montmartre’s art scene. Here, the art doesn’t hang on gallery walls – it’s made right before your eyes! Watch painters, caricaturists, and sketch artists work their magic, and maybe even take home your own one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Stop 7

We end on a high note literally at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, perched atop Montmartre hill. This majestic, white-domed beauty offers panoramic views that will steal your breath away. A moment of peace, awe, and pure magic to end a perfect walk through Paris’ most poetic neighborhood.
