Montmartre Museum (Musée de Montmartre)

12 Rue Cortot, Paris, 75018

The Basics

Montmartre became a hot spot among Parisian artists in the 1870s and into the 1880s, when some of the area's original cabarets opened. This compact museum, housed where Renoir painted works such asBal du Moulin de la Galette, celebrates the neighborhood's legacy. Here you'll find a large collection of artwork from Montmartre's heyday, along with beautiful gardens inspired by the works of Renoir.

The 10 Tastings of Paris With Locals: Montmartre Private Food Tour
For this trip to Paris we decided to try some new things, away from the usual museums. This was a very fun and informative (and very tasty!) tour of the Montmartre area. Our tour guide, Bibiana, is a Montmartre local which was even luckier as the day of our tour was also the day of a metro strike! So if she hadn’t been local this would not have worked out! We walked up to the top of Montmartre, periodically stopping to both sample food and learn about the area (history, architecture, residents). Bibiana kept it fun and rolling along. We ended at Sacre Coeur, of course very beautiful. We recommend both this tour and Bibiana!

Such a great tour of Paris and Montmarte. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed the chocolate and crepes. We also truly enjoyed the history of the area. Be prepared! This is a very hilly area of Paris and our guide did mention some people haven't been able to tour the whole area.

The 10 Tastings of Paris With Locals: Montmartre Private Food Tour
One of my favorite parts of my trip. Olivia was AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable about the area. This area is very hilly! I had a wonderful time talking with her about many subjects not just Montmartre. It felt like I was having a walk/talk/eat/drink with a friend. There is a lot of food!! I am glad I had a backpack to carry the extras.

We had our tour with Olivia and she was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and was able to answer many of our curiosity questions. She was easy to hang out with, talk to, and most importantly she did an awesome job on the tour.
