The Official Emily in Paris Montmartre Walking Tour

Montmartre is the real star here. This two-hour walk follows Emily in Paris locations from the Moulin Rouge to Sacré-Cœur, but it also gives you the cobbled lanes, artists’ corners, and village feel that make this hilltop district special. I especially like the small-group size of 14 and the way the tour blends show locations with genuine Montmartre stories.

I also like the framed Polaroid and personalized tote, which give you something better than a camera roll to take home. The main drawback is the route itself: Montmartre is hilly, includes cobblestones and stairs, and the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility limits.

Key points to know before you book

• Moulin Rouge to Sacré-Cœur: The route crosses Montmartre from Place Blanche and finishes at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
• A show-themed walk with real Paris context: You see La Maison Rose, Maison Dalida, the Wall of Love, Picasso’s first studio, and other local landmarks.
• English guide with photo help: Guides including Silvia, Sylvi, Gozde, and Elena are praised for show knowledge, Paris background, and patient photo tips.
• Useful keepsakes included: Your booking covers a pain au chocolat, a customized Polaroid with frame, and a Paris by Emily tote bag.
• Plan for hills and uneven ground: Comfortable shoes, water, and weather-ready clothing matter more here than fashionable footwear.
• Good value for fans who want more than screen trivia: At $47 per person, the extras and small-group format help justify the price.

Why Montmartre works so well for an Emily in Paris tour

The show uses Montmartre for its romance, humor, and picture-postcard charm. The real neighborhood gives you all of that, but with a little grit around the edges. Streets rise sharply toward Sacré-Cœur, tourists gather around famous squares, and the prettiest corners are often reached on foot rather than by a quick photo stop.

That makes this a useful choice if you want an introduction to Montmartre without planning your own route. You move from the Moulin Rouge through artistic and residential streets, then finish near the basilica and Place du Tertre. The show supplies the theme, while the neighborhood supplies the substance.

The guide is central to the experience. You receive an English-language tour, and the named guides connected with the experience include Silvia, Sylvi, Gozde, and Elena. The strongest praise goes to guides who explain both the television locations and Paris culture, rather than simply pointing out where a scene was filmed.

I like that balance. If you only want a list of filming spots, you can find many of them on a map. A guide adds value by explaining why a street looks the way it does, how Montmartre fits into Paris, and which views deserve your camera time.

Starting at Place Blanche and the Moulin Rouge

Meet your guide outside Blanche Metro Station on Line 2, at Boulevard de Clichy on Place Blanche. Look for the red beret and Paris by Emily lanyard, and arrive at least 10 minutes early. That small buffer is sensible because Place Blanche can feel confusing when you are watching traffic, reading signs, and trying to find the right exit.

The first stop is the Moulin Rouge. You have about 10 minutes for a photo stop and short introduction. The famous red windmill is an easy visual connection to the show, and it gives the tour an immediate sense of place.

This is not a full cabaret visit. You see the exterior and begin walking, so do not book this expecting a performance or an indoor tour. Still, the opening stop works well because the boulevard feels very different from the quiet lanes higher up the hill. You get a quick contrast before heading into Montmartre proper.

The Wall of Love and Montmartre’s artistic side

The next stop is the Wall of Love, or Mur des Je T’aime. The wall displays the words I love you in many languages, making it one of the simplest and most accessible photo stops in the neighborhood.

The guide uses this point for sightseeing and explanation, with roughly 10 minutes set aside. It is a short visit, so you should not expect a long art lecture. The value is in seeing a spot that fits the show’s romantic mood while learning how the area connects with artists, lovers, and visitors from around the world.

From here, the walk continues to Le Bateau-Lavoir, known as Picasso’s first studio. This is one of the stops that gives the tour more weight than a basic television-location walk. You are not only following Emily’s fictional route. You are also touching Montmartre’s role as a place where artists worked, met, and developed new ideas.

The exterior visit is brief, with time for photos and a guide’s explanation. It is worth paying attention here because the building can look modest compared with the basilica or the Moulin Rouge. That modesty is part of the point. Important artistic places do not always announce themselves.

Maison Dalida and the pleasure of the residential lanes

Maison Dalida is the former home associated with the French and Italian singer Dalida. The house is a popular photo stop, and the guide connects it with Montmartre’s artistic identity and the show’s polished Paris mood.

This part of the route feels more residential than the opening boulevard. I like the shift. It helps you see that Montmartre is not just a collection of famous backdrops. People live here, and many streets still have the scale of a local neighborhood.

The walk can be especially photogenic around this stretch, but keep your group together and stay aware of the uneven paving. Montmartre rewards slow looking, yet the group still has a schedule to follow.

La Maison Rose and Rue de l’Abreuvoir

La Maison Rose is one of the most recognizable stops on the route. Its pink exterior and position near Rue de l’Abreuvoir make it an easy place to understand why filmmakers return to this part of Montmartre.

The tour visits the restaurant associated with Emily dining with Mindy. You stop for photographs and hear the connection to the show, but the experience does not include a meal there. That distinction matters. If you want to eat at La Maison Rose, you would need to make separate plans.

Rue de l’Abreuvoir is one of the most charming streets in the itinerary. It gives you a classic Montmartre view, with a sloping lane, old façades, and the feeling of a village inside a large capital. Your guide can also help with photo angles. Several participants singled out the patient help offered by Silvia and Sylvi, especially when taking selfies and group pictures.

The included pain au chocolat fits naturally here. It is a small food treat, not a full breakfast or snack stop, but it adds a pleasant Paris ritual to the walk. If you need more food or drinks, those are not included, so eat beforehand if you are joining near a meal time.

The Clos Montmartre vineyard

The route then reaches Vigne du Clos Montmartre, the neighborhood vineyard. This is an easy stop to miss if you are exploring alone, which is one reason a guide can be useful.

The vineyard is a reminder that Montmartre has a village past and retains traces of it despite its fame. The visit is mainly for sightseeing and photographs. Do not expect a wine tasting to be part of the tour.

This stop also helps break up the more obvious show locations. You get a glimpse of local character instead of moving from one famous façade to the next. For me, those smaller details are what make the walk feel like an introduction to Montmartre rather than a television scavenger hunt.

Climbing to Sacré-Cœur

The route finishes at Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the large white church at the top of Montmartre. Emily visits the basilica throughout the show, and the location provides one of the clearest links between the series and the actual city.

The basilica is also the physical high point of the walk. You should expect uphill streets, uneven pavement, and possibly stairs along the way. The tour is only two hours, but the distance feels more demanding because Montmartre is built on a hill.

Once you reach Sacré-Cœur, you can take in the broad view across Paris. The tour includes a photo stop and guided sightseeing, but it does not include a special interior visit or a separate basilica admission. The walk ends at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, so you can decide how long to stay afterward.

That ending is practical. You finish near one of Montmartre’s main landmarks, with time to continue exploring independently. Place du Tertre is also part of the route, giving you a chance to see the famous square filled with portrait artists and café surroundings.

Place du Tertre and the real value of the group size

Place du Tertre is one of the liveliest points on the walk. It is known for its artists and its strong connection with the popular image of Montmartre. It can also be crowded, so your guide’s job is partly to keep the group moving while giving you enough time for photos.

The maximum group size is 14. That is small enough for a guide to answer questions and help with pictures, but it is not a private tour. If you want a completely flexible pace, a private guide would suit you better. If you like meeting other people and sharing a themed outing, this size should feel manageable.

The social side is part of the appeal for solo visitors, couples, friends, and families. One useful detail from the experience is that some participants enjoyed meeting people from different countries during the walk. The shared show connection gives everyone an easy conversation starter.

What is included for $47

At $47 per person, the price sits above a basic self-guided walk and below many private Paris tours. The value depends on how much use you will make of the guide and the included items.

You receive:

• An English-speaking guide focused on Emily in Paris and Montmartre
• One traditional pain au chocolat
• A customized Paris by Emily Polaroid photograph and frame
• A personalized Paris by Emily tote bag

The Polaroid is the most distinctive extra. It turns one of your photo moments into a physical souvenir, and the frame makes it feel more finished than a casual snapshot. The tote is useful during the rest of your Paris visit, though its appeal will depend on how much you like branded show merchandise.

Transportation is not included, but that is not a major problem for this route. You can reach the start at Blanche Metro Station on Line 2, and the walk finishes at Sacré-Cœur. Additional food and drinks are also not included. Some accounts connected with the experience refer to a cocktail at the end, but it is not part of the stated inclusions, so I would not book on the assumption that one is guaranteed.

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the start for a full refund, and the reserve-now, pay-later option gives you some flexibility while planning. Those terms are useful if your Paris schedule is still changing.

Who should take this walk

I would recommend it first to Emily in Paris fans who want to see the setting with a guide rather than simply locate addresses on a phone. It is also a good fit for first-time visitors to Montmartre who want a compact route through the main sights.

The tour suits:

• Friends planning a themed Paris afternoon
• Couples who want built-in photo stops
• Solo visitors who like a small social group
• Families with older children who know the show
• Anyone interested in Montmartre’s artists, singers, and village atmosphere

You may want a different option if you dislike television tie-ins, need frequent rest stops, or want extended time inside museums and monuments. The walk is focused on outdoor sightseeing, photos, and short explanations. It is not designed for a slow, fully accessible route, and it is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments.

Wear comfortable shoes. Bring water and clothing suited to the weather. Oversize luggage, drones, alcohol, and drugs are not allowed.

My call on the Emily in Paris Montmartre walk

Book this tour if the show is part of your Paris fun and you want a guided introduction to Montmartre with useful extras. The small group, patient photo help, pain au chocolat, Polaroid, and tote make the $47 price easier to justify than a simple location hunt.

Skip it if you already know Montmartre well or want a serious art-history tour with long visits inside buildings. For everyone else, the route offers a pleasant mix: Moulin Rouge glamour, the Wall of Love, Picasso’s studio, Dalida’s home, La Maison Rose, the vineyard, Place du Tertre, and the view from Sacré-Cœur. You get the fictional Paris of Emily, but also enough real neighborhood detail to make the walk worthwhile.
