The Best Walking Route on This Montmartre Map

For most first-time visitors, the easiest route is to start low and walk uphill. You’ll see the famous cabaret side of Montmartre first, then climb toward the village streets and finish with the big view at Sacré-Cœur.

Route 1: Classic Montmartre Landmarks Route

1. Start at ★ Metro Blanche
   This is the meeting point to mark with a big star. It is also the easiest place to connect the tour CTA with the map.
2. Stop at Moulin Rouge
   The Moulin Rouge is just by Blanche, so it makes sense as your first red pin. Take photos outside, then continue toward Abbesses.
3. Walk to the I Love You Wall
   Pin the wall in Square Jehan Rictus, by Place des Abbesses. At the time of writing, the City of Paris page says the I Love You Wall is inaccessible for safety reasons, so check the official page before planning a close-up visit.
4. Climb toward Place du Tertre
   This is the artists’ square many visitors picture when they think of Montmartre. Paris je t’aime describes it as a historic square with restaurant terraces and artists’ spaces.
5. Finish at Sacré-Cœur
   End at the basilica, where you get one of the most recognizable views over Paris. The official Sacré-Cœur site says the basilica is open every day and free to visit, but check the official site before your visit for current details.

Route 2: Easier Downhill Montmartre Route

Prefer fewer uphill climbs? Start near Sacré-Cœur, then walk downhill through Place du Tertre, Abbesses, and Moulin Rouge.

This route works well if you use the Montmartre Funicular or arrive from Anvers. It is also a good choice for families, travelers with limited time, or anyone who wants to save energy on the steepest part of the neighborhood.

Route 3: Quick Photo Route

Use this shorter Montmartre Paris map route if you only want the headline sights.

• Moulin Rouge
• I Love You Wall
• Place du Tertre
• Sacré-Cœur

This route is simple, scenic, and easy to follow. It does skip some quieter backstreets, which is where a local guide can make a big difference.

Star Pin: Free Montmartre Walking Tour Meeting Point

The most important pin on this Montmartre map is the big star at Metro Blanche.

That star should be labeled:

★ Free Montmartre Walking Tour Meeting Point, Metro Blanche, near Moulin Rouge

You can use this map to wander on your own, but the best way to uncover the secrets behind these pins is on our Montmartre Free Walking Tour.

A map helps you find the places. A guide helps you understand why they matter.

Top Landmarks on the Montmartre Map

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Sacré-Cœur is the natural endpoint for most Montmartre walking routes. It sits at the top of the hill, so it is also the landmark you’ll use to orient yourself as you climb.

Add the basilica as a red pin and include a note that entry to the basilica is free, according to the official Sacré-Cœur website. Visitors should check the official site before going, especially for current opening details or restoration updates.

Moulin Rouge

Moulin Rouge belongs at the bottom of the map, near Metro Blanche. It is one of the easiest Montmartre landmarks to find because it sits directly on Boulevard de Clichy.

Add it as a red pin and pair it with the tour meeting point star. The official Moulin Rouge practical information page lists the address as 82 Boulevard de Clichy and the nearest Metro as Blanche on line 2.

Place du Tertre

Place du Tertre is the classic Montmartre artists’ square. It is close to Sacré-Cœur, so it works best near the end of an uphill route or near the beginning of a downhill one.

Add a note on the map that this square can get busy. For a calmer experience, aim for earlier in the day or use it as a quick orientation stop before heading into the surrounding streets.

I Love You Wall

The I Love You Wall is in Square Jehan Rictus, near Place des Abbesses. It is a popular stop for couples, photographers, and anyone looking for a quick romantic landmark on a Montmartre map.

Important update for map users: the City of Paris page currently says the wall is inaccessible for safety reasons. Keep it on the map because it is a key landmark, but add a small note telling readers to check the official status before visiting.

How to Use This Montmartre Map on Your Phone

Open the Montmartre map before you arrive, then follow the pins in order. The streets are short, steep, and sometimes winding, so it helps to zoom in before each turn.

A few practical tips:

• Save the map offline if you can.
• Wear comfortable shoes, because Montmartre has cobblestones and hills.
• Start earlier in the day if you want fewer crowds.
• Use the star pin at Metro Blanche if you’re joining the free tour.
• Keep checking live transit updates if you’re using Metro or buses.

Self-Guided Map or Guided Tour?

A self-guided Montmartre map is perfect if you want flexibility. You can stop for photos, cafés, and viewpoints whenever you like.

A guided walk is better if you want the stories behind the pins. Montmartre is full of artistic legends, cabaret history, hidden corners, and local details that are easy to miss when you only follow directions.

That’s why the map and tour work well together: use the map to get your bearings, then join the free tour to understand the neighborhood.
