About this tour
This session climbs Montmartre by its steepest route, from the stepped Rue Foyatier beside the funicular to the small vineyard hidden near the top of the hill. Isabelle explains how this single staircase has appeared in countless films. The walk gives a real sense of Montmartre's shape as a hill rather than a flat neighbourhood.
Isabelle starts at the base of the steps with a short sound check. She climbs at an easy pace, pausing for breath and for questions in equal measure, and sends a short note on quieter times to make the same climb afterwards.
It suits anyone curious about Montmartre's geography as much as its history. It also works well as a first stop before exploring the square and basilica above.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
