Hours, prices and access verified by the Montmartre Paris Tours team — last checked 2026-09-08

Montmartre photographs better than almost anywhere in Paris, and the reason is the gradient: every lane is a stepped frame with the city or the white stone of the basilica at the end of it. The pictures below run from the parvis down through the village streets to the bakeries and cheese counters the food walks stop at. If they make you want to be there, Best Montmartre food tours start at $68 and the walking tours at $23.
