Metro station Blanche (line n. 2). Taxi adress: 82, boulevard de Clichy - 75018 Paris
The guide will wait for you at the exit of the metro station with a yellow sign in his hands.
We will start with the worldwide most famous cabaret, the Moulin Rouge. There you will hear about the painter Toulouse-Lautrec who spent his short life drawing in the cabaret while drinking heavy cocktails.

On our way we will see famous cafés where were shot movies like "Amelie" (2002) with Audrey Tautou, we will see the last still existing windmills, the first flat where Picasso lived, a vineyard created by artists in 19th century and still producing wine, as well as small hidden streets with their cobblestones telling many surprising anecdotes.
Finally we will reach the Basilica of Sacra-Coeur and visit inside this huge building with its surprising byzantine architecture. In time for the sunset we will overlook the breathtaking view all over Paris, including the Eiffel Tower.
Place du Tertre
The tour ends in the heart of the old outskirts village Montmartre, where once upon a time only farmers and some moneyless impressionist painters lived. You will discover the old medieval church of the village, one of the two oldest in Paris, as well as the former town hall and the famous square Place du Tretre with its painters who sill sell portraits and caricatures. There you can enjoy a drink or a meal in one of the many typical French restaurants on the highest spot in Paris.

About Tour Guide Christian G.
After a law degree in Italy and Austria, I worked as a journalist for nearly 20 years, first in Italy and from 1995 to 2014 in Paris. I started guiding in 2014 and followed a new education for my national French guiding license. With my wife Kristina, an architect and historian of art, we created a guiding agency in Paris in which by now work a dozen highly qualified and licensed guides. All of us are driven by love for art, passion for history and eagerness of showing the French beauty to our guests. We provide private and group city tours as well as visits in the main Parisian museums as for instance Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. We manage also excursions to the Palace of Versailles, to the mansion of Monet, to Normandy and so on. During the academic year, I still give lessons for journalism in the Parisian university HEIP.
