Private Half Day Guided Tour in Montmartre and Musée d’Orsay
In this unique "2 tours in 1" we combine Montmartre with my favourite museum, Musée d’Orsay. We start in the birthplace of Impressionism. We see the place where Van Gogh has lived, where Renoir painted his masterpiece, Picasso’s studio, the Moulin Rouge of Toulouse-Lautrec. We finish at the Sacre Cœur where we enjoy a breath taking view over the city.
After tasting the atmosphere of this neighbourhood we move to Orsay to see paintings made in Montmartre. We walk through “the artistic heaven” incl. "Déjeuner sur l’Herbe" by Manet, "Moulin de la Galette" by Renoir, portraits of the Moulin Rouge stars by Toulouse Lautrec, Starry Night by Van Gogh.
Because of the stunning architecture of the old train station you can make some beautiful pictures of Paris. Through impressive pointers of the clock we see the Sacre Coeur in the background, where we were only 1 hour before. Special price (-25%) for children and youngsters, because I believe it’s important to stimulate them art and culture.

Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge is an important starting point, because we meet here Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. This impressionist made painting of the "vedettes" (stars) of the Moulin Rouge: La Goulue and Jane Avril. We will see both later in Musée d'Orsay.
Van Gogh's House
The (post-)impressionist Vincent van Gogh has lived between 1886 and 1888 in Montmartre where he met many other painters. He lived in Rue Lepic together with his brother Theo. We will see several of his paintings later in Musée d'Orsay.
Square Jehan Rictus
Montmartre is famous because of the impressionist painters. It is also a beautiful neighbourhood by itself. We enjoy this beauty and funny side by passing the Wall of Love: in 311 different languages "I love you". Find your own language.
