Fat Cat gets the Early Bird: Montmartre

Walk through the winding streets of Paris’ artist quarter as it is just waking up.  Discover the history of the enchanting neighbourhood that was once home to the likes of Van Gogh and Picasso and take in spectacular views of the city all while beating the crowds.  On this tour, you will learn about Paris’ last remaining village, the artists that called it home, and, of course, the Sacré Coeur basilica.

You will begin at the Anvers metro station where you will meet your guide.  Then make your way up, with the help of the funiculaire, to the iconic Sacre Coeur Basilica.  At the top, you will be given free time to explore the basilica before all the crowds arrive.  Then closely follow your guide as you meander through Paris’ only remaining village and the artist that called this district home, Picasso, Dali, and Van Gogh.  On the picturesque walk, you will see sites such as the Moulin de la Galette, Les Deux Moulins, La Maison Rose, Paris’ only vineyard, the Love Wall.  Your guide will lead you down the hill and conclude the tour in front of another Paris icon, the Moulin Rouge.
