Your Paris in a Day Tour begins at the iconic Moulin Rouge windmill. With a small group (max. six people) and an expert guide, you’ll enjoy an intimate experience, easy access to crowded sites, and engaging storytelling.

Start with the history of the Moulin Rouge, opened in 1889—the same year as the Universal Exposition. This era of innovation, from the invention of photography to the first flight, marked a cultural shift. Located on Montmartre’s edge, the cabaret became a symbol of change.

Step behind the Moulin Rouge into Montmartre’s cobbled streets, once a village that lured artists like Van Gogh, Renoir, and Picasso with its affordable rents and inspiring light. Visit hidden gems like a historic vineyard still producing wine and hosting an annual Harvest Festival.

See the former homes of famous artists and stop by Au Lapin Agile, Paris’ oldest cabaret, once frequented by Edith Piaf and immortalized in Picasso’s work. Montmartre remains a creative hub, where you may spot artists painting in Place du Tertre, a key setting in Amélie.

At Montmartre’s highest point, admire breathtaking views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. This striking white church, nicknamed “the meringue,” crowns one of Paris’ most vibrant neighborhoods.

Louvre Museum
Next, skip the lines at the Louvre with priority access tickets. Your guide will lead you through highlights, including the Venus de Milo, Delacroix’s masterpieces, and da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, offering expert insights into these world-renowned works.

Île de la Cité
After free time for a Parisian lunch (not included), explore Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris. Walk through Place Dauphine, seen in Midnight in Paris, and hear about its 1,000-year history.

Pass by Sainte-Chapelle, famed for its stained glass, and learn about Marie Antoinette’s last days outside the former royal prison. At Notre Dame, see its untouched façade and hear about ongoing restoration efforts.

Seine River Cruise
Your tour ends with tickets for a Seine River cruise, which you can take the same day or the next. Enjoy stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and more, with a sunset ride highly recommended.
