Itinerary
-
Starting at Blanche metro station, steps from the red windmill, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and begin the climb into Montmartre. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Moulin Rouge opens the show — birthplace of the cancan and a century of scandal. Riddles peek behind the red velvet without buying a ticket.
In a quiet garden square, the Mur des Je t'aime spells 'I love you' 311 times in 250 languages. The photo task here writes itself.
Then the stairs (or funicular) lead to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, gleaming white above the city, with all of Paris rolled out below.
Around two hours of slopes, artists and accordion echoes. The leaderboard crowns the monarch of Montmartre.
