Montmartre is the bohemian hill of Paris, once a village beyond the city limits where artists, writers, musicians, and performers lived cheaply and boldly. This route traces its creative legacy through the Moulin Rouge, Café des Deux Moulins, Van Gogh’s home at 54 Rue Lepic, the Bateau-Lavoir, and the surviving Clos Montmartre vineyard. It ends at Sacré-Cœur Basilica, where the hill’s mix of art, nightlife, and sweeping views still feels close to touch.
