From Moulin Rouge to Sacré-Cœur

With the help of an audio guide, learn about the origins of the cancan and striptease, both of which were invented here in Montmartre.

Swing by the stunning white-domed Sacré-Cœur Basilica, which sits atop the highest point in Montmartre, offering breathtaking views of Paris below. Also, visit the Place du Tertre, known for its outdoor artists' market, where local painters and portraitists display their work and offer to create custom artworks for visitors.
