Meet at the base of Montmartre for your private walking tour of this beloved Paris neighborhood. Your guide will reveal Montmartre through the lives and works of Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh and Cézanne — a handful of the art rebels who lived on the edge of Paris on the charming hill of Montmartre, and who all paved the way for the Impressionist art movement in Europe in the 19th century.
Strolling through Montmartre’s romantic streets, you’ll get a first-hand look at the places that inspired the Impressionist painters. See where Van Gogh and Picasso lived and worked, visit the windmill that Renoir featured in his scandalous piece Bal du moulin de la Galette and walk past the Moulin Rouge cabaret that inspired Toulouse-Lautrec’s distinctive artistic style.
Your leisurely walk ends at the hill's highest point, iconic Basilique du Sacré Coeur, boasting spectacular views over Paris.
After lunch (own expense), you'll be driven by luxury private vehicle to the Musée d’Orsay on the left bank of the River Seine. This mesmerizing museum is home to Paris’ largest collection of Impressionist art.
Use your skip-the-line ticket to bypass the entrance lines and head straight inside for a 2-hour guided tour. Browse a rich collection of 19th-century French art by Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, Gauguin and more, and learn about the techniques used by the Impressionists and post-Impressionists from your guide as you admire the array of artworks.
You are free to stay and continue exploring the museum at the end of your guided tour.
