Family Treasure Hunt in Montmartre

Meet your guide at the closest metro to Montmartre. From there, you’ll already be able to spot the Sacré-Coeur basilica, which towers above Paris. To climb up there, we offer your family a much funnier – and much less tiring – means than walking. Which one? To be discovered once at the location!

From the church esplanade, you’ll enjoy the most wonderful of view of Paris. But no time to mess around- your kids’ treasure hunt is now on! They’ll have to keep their eyes wide open to solve the funny riddles we've concocted for them. Their task? Spotting animal sculptures hidden throughout the neighborhood and finding out clues about Montmartre artistic life during the 19th century.

Next to Place du Tertre, they’ll need to explore less-frequented side streets to discover which artists of the past are featured in current museums. Wandering along cobblestoned lanes, they’ll hear about Van Gogh or Cézanne's favorite cabaret. On Place Marcel Aymé, a strange local character has, for sure, some clues to unveil.

Your family will pass by locations that inspired some of the most famous modern painting canvasses. At Le Moulin de la Galette restaurant or on the Bateau-Lavoir Square, they’ll understand the kind of aesthetic revolution that occurred here, while having a blast. After a last enigma solved on Place des Abbesses, the whole family will deserve a break in a typical café. Savoring a drink, your kids will assess their treasure hunt, relate their discoveries, and uncover the final mystery.
