Itinerary
Day 1
Private 45-minute Montmartre rickshaw ride visiting Pigalle, Moulin Rouge, Sacré-Cœur, Place du Tertre, and the Je t'aime wall. Designed for couples with photo stops and a relaxed pace.
Place Pigalle
Meeting point: meet your driver at the centre of Place Pigalle for a quick briefing, vehicle check and to confirm photo-stop preferences and audio-guide language.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5 minutes early at the centre of Place Pigalle (near the Pigalle metro exits) so the driver can locate you without delaying the tour.
- Confirm your preferred language for the on-board audio guide and any requested photo stops before departure.
- Small pets are allowed on the rickshaw; keep them on a leash or on your lap during the tour.
Moulin Rouge
Short photo stop outside the iconic red windmill cabaret on Boulevard de Clichy.
Tips from local experts:
- The photo stop is outside the building on Boulevard de Clichy; step back onto the pavement for safety while photos are taken.
- If you prefer fewer people in the shot, ask the driver for a quick second pass after the main stop.
- Traffic can be busy here — keep a close hold on personal items during the stop.
Basilique Sacré-Cœur
Stop at the viewpoint near the Sacré-Cœur Basilica to enjoy one of Montmartre's best panoramas of Paris and a photo break.
Tips from local experts:
- The driver will usually stop at the viewpoint just below the basilica to avoid steep stairs and crowds.
- If you want to enter the basilica, tell your driver at the meeting so timing can be adjusted (entry is subject to basilica opening rules).
- Bring a light layer as it can be breezy on the elevated viewpoint.
Place du Tertre
Short visit to Montmartre's famous artists' square — time to enjoy the atmosphere and grab a quick photo or view local artists at work.
Tips from local experts:
- This is a brief stop; if you want a portrait or to buy art, mention this to the driver beforehand so extra time can be allowed.
- Keep bags zipped and close to you — the square can get busy with tourists.
- Look for artists offering smaller, ready-made works if you want a quick, carryable souvenir.
“Je t'aime” wall (Le mur des je t'aime)
Final stop at the Je t'aime wall in Square Jehan Rictus — a romantic photo opportunity and quiet moment to finish the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- The wall is in Square Jehan Rictus (Place des Abbesses); ask the driver to stop at the nearby bench area for the best photo angles.
- If you prefer softer light for romantic photos, consider booking an evening time slot (dusk offers gentler light).
- The wall area is small and often busy; plan for a quick portrait rather than elaborate set-ups.
