Sacre-Coeur, Montmartre and Place du Tertre 1-Hour Guided Tour
Meet your guide and group in the Montmartre neighborhood and begin your walking tour through one of Paris’s most historic hillside districts. Make your way up to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica, climbing the steps to reach viewpoints overlooking the city. At the basilica, your guide explains its history and significance, from its construction between 1874 and 1914 to its location on the highest natural point in Paris. Inside, see highlights such as the Christ in Majesty mosaic and learn about the Roman Byzantine architectural style that sets the building apart. Continue through Montmartre’s streets as your guide shares stories about the area’s artistic, political, and bohemian past. Walk through local lanes and public spaces before stopping at the Place du Tertre, a lively square long associated with painters and street artists. At the end of the tour, you are free to remain in Montmartre and continue exploring independently.
